PHOENIX (LALATE) – Robert Schimmel is dead at 60; Schimmel has died from injuries suffered during a recent accident. Schimmel’s death was confirmed moments ago this Saturday morning by rep Howard Bragman.

Bragman said Schimmel died last night in a Phoenix hospital; his daughter, Aliyah Schimmel, the driver of the vehicle, remains in stable condition.

Known for his appearances on the HBO and The Howard Stern Show, Schimmel is also survived by his 11 year old son who was not injured in the accident. Doctors believe his daughter will fully recover. Funeral arrangements have not been announced.

Schimmel in recent years battled cancer. He had turned his fight against non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma into his 2008 book “Cancer on $5 a Day”. His Facebook page has since been turned into a memorial.

Robert Schimmel will be greatly missed. Send your love.
