Shaul added, "What he lacked in height he made up for in generosity and greatness as a son, brother, artist, comedian, partner and human being. Knowing that he has left the world at the height of both his professional and personal life is the only solace one can have today."
The traffic incident occurred at the intersection of Cahuenga Boulevard and Romaine Street when a vehicle reportedly hit a wall.
