Robert Schimmel Dead at 60

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.
