Gilbert Gottfried sparked fears with ‘frail’ frame in ‘concerning’ video taken just weeks before tragic death

GILBERT Gottfried's fans feared for him in the weeks leading up to his tragic death at age 67.

A concerning video sadly showing his "frail" frame and other recent posts were hard for some to ignore.

On April 12th, 2022, Gilbert's family reported that the comedian died at the age of 67.

They announced the heartbreaking news on his social media platforms, writing: "Gilbert Gottfried made me laugh at times when laughter did not come easily. What a gift."

Gilbert's rep, Glenn Schwartz, revealed the actor died from a "heart abnormality called Ventricular Tachycardia due to Myotonic Dystrophy type II."

Gilbert was best known for his very distinctive voice, most famously showcased when he played the parrot Lago in the 1992 animated classic Aladdin - and he has remained active since, as "worried"; fans knew.

The star continued touring and had a vibrant social media presence, though his latter days sparked concern for his thinning look according to some fans.

Despite his ever-upbeat demeanor - and comedy podcast that he recorded well into 2022 called - he appeared to changing in appearance off-mic.

"It’s Valentine's Day again so why don't you send a personalized shoutout from me, Gilbert Gottfried,” he declared to in a front-facing video wearing a plaid shirt and looking at the camera on February 1st.

Though one fan commented: "My favorite comedian!" another wrote, "Startled me."

'CONCERNING'

Fans were also worried by a February 15th advertising his active Cameo page.

The photo saw him wearing a blue shirt and many were confused by the sanitized-looking location.

"This is mildly concerning," one wrote.

"Are you wearing a hospital gown?" asked a second.
