From the obituary linked to three posts above yours:
McCarthy died Saturday, said Cape Cod Hospital spokesman Dave Riley, who wouldn't reveal the cause of death or any other details.
And please ease up on the all-caps.

I'm not questioning you, great Weird One, but I believe that you should read the articles about it first.

I-I'm sorry. I won't question you ever again!
Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

1) They call Weird Al "comic accordion player", you know, like no one would know who he is, despite being a top selling artist for three decades.

2) Kevin was not cast in several of Al's videos, obviously.... just one, and no new footage of him.

I played his son Richard Fletcher in the UHF shadow cast... I'll always remember him for that laugh

Sad, but what a long lived life.

I tried my damnedest to do justice to the man's performance at the shadowcast...I don't know if I succeeded, but I had a lot of fun trying.

Long Live Walter Jameson.
