‘Aladdin’ Actor and Comedian Gilbert Gottfried Dies at 67

Legendary comedian Gilbert Gottfried has died. The sad news was announced in a statement on his Twitter account, which said that Gottfried passed away after “a long illness.” The SNL alum was perhaps best known for his loud, piercing voice, which landed him plenty of work — most famously on Disney’s “Aladdin.” Gottfried was beloved in the comedy world for his material, which was not always polite. Survived by his wife and two children, Gilbert Gottfried was 67.
