Well regarded Las Vegas Danny Gans has died at the age of 52.
Gans’ body was discovered by his wife at around 3am Friday (April 1). Emergency crews were unable to revive him and he was declared dead at the scene. A cause of death has not yet been established.
Gans, best known for his impersonation of George Burns has performed nearly none stop on the Las Vegas strip since 1996, including time at Wynns, The Mirage and the Stratosphere. In that time, he was named Las Vegas Entertainer of the Year 11 years in row.
He is survived by his wife and three children.

The least you people could do, out of respect for Danny Gans, is correctly list his date of passing. He passed away May 1st, not April 1st.

it really is too bad that Gans passed on at such a relatively young age, but it seems like being a Vegas entertainer wouldn't exactly promote long term, healthy life
