Richard Jeni, a standup comedian who played to sold-out crowds, has died of a gunshot wound.

Los Angeles police found the 45-year-old performer alive but gravely wounded in a West Hollywood home Saturday morning when they responded to a call from Jeni's girlfriend.

According to LAPD, the caller told police: "My boyfriend shot himself in the face."

How terribly sad. I really liked Richard Jeni.

Turns out, he was 49.

Hate it when the news gets it wrong.

Still sad he's gone.
