Kevin Barnett (Jan. 22, age 32)

Comedian and co-creator of Fox’s Rel Kevin Barnett died in Mexico on Tuesday at the young age of 32. The cause of death is still unknown, and the news came just two days after Barnett posted a picture of himself on vacation to his Instagram page. “In mexico,” the post said. “Bought myself a sweater. Been accused of appropriation several times. In my head I just gave a lady some money so I ain’t cold. Either way. Swag heavy. Mixtape comin.”

Barnett was an up-and-coming comedian, whose credits included appearances in Rel, NBC’s The Carmichael Show, and TruTV’s Friends of the People. He was also a regular writer for The Carmichael Show, Comedy Central’s Broad City and Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show.
