Garcia’s Recent Health Struggles
2025 had been a rough year for Garcia. He suffered a brain aneurysm this past spring, causing him to fall and hit his head. Though he recovered from the aneurysm, he suffered a stroke a few weeks ago. Garcia was then hospitalized in late November with pneumonia. The comedian was discharged from the hospital, but then his health took a turn for the worse again on Monday. He returned to the hospital that night with trouble breathing, and on Tuesday, the actor suffered a collapsed lung and was placed on life support. He was taken off life support late Tuesday night and was pronounced dead early Wednesday.
