Leslie Jordan Dead at 67: Actor Died While Driving His BMW in Hollywood [BREAKING]

Multiple news outlets confirmed that actor/comedian Leslie Jordan died at the age of 67.

KTLA quoted a news outlet's report regarding Jordan's death, saying the beloved actor passed away while driving in Hollywood on Monday.

The "American Horror Story" star crashed his BMW around 9:30 a.m. local time. But he reportedly suffered an apparent medical emergency before it happened, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

It remains unknown what condition he struggled with that led him to crash his car.

His agent, David Shaul, and his family confirmed the news through separate statements. Shaul sent a message to PEOPLE where he said the world is now a darker place without the actor.

"What he lacked in height, he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner, and human being. Knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace one can have today," he went on.

Meanwhile, Jordan's family posted a statement on his official Instagram page and revealed that the comedian's death was unexpected since he was still working in the days leading to his death.

The bereaved loved ones also asked everyone to share the memories they had with Jordan before they revealed the project that the actor had been preparing for a long time.

Fans and colleagues also took to their social media accounts to share their shock and heartbreak after losing the actor.

Leslie Jordan's Legacy

The Chattanooga, Tennessee, native moved to Los Angeles in 1982. His beginnings were not some sort of story one could be proud of telling others, as the comedian got involved with drugs and alcohol, which led to his arrests several times.

But those also highlighted his proudest moments, especially since he helped himself get through it and assisted others who were going through the same things he had.

Jordan then officially marked the start of his career in 1986 when he was tapped to appear in the series "The Fall Guy." The spotlight scored him more roles, including the ones in "Murphy Brown," "Lois & Clark," "The New Adventures of Superman," "Will & Grace," "Caroline in the city," "Star Trek: Voyager," "Nash Bridges," and "American Horror Story."

Aside from TV gigs, he also expanded his career in theatre and music.

Last year, he released his gospel music album "Company's Comin" before appearing in "The Masked Singer" Season 6.

Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jordan's popularity grew because of his comedy posts that eased people's negative feelings.
