Apparent suicide

LINK

He had small roles in The Hangover and Due Date.
Had his own show on HBOGO/Comedy Central about recovering from mental breakdown he had when he went off his meds cold turkey. It looks like he may have done that again.
He was such a unique guy, played baseball at Arizona St.

The funniest people are sadly the ones with the most issues.

I've had Zach Galifinakis and Craig Robinson in the bullpen of my celeb death pool for a couple years.

That's sad, but not shocking. He was pretty open about being depressed and suicidal.

Why would he go off meds cold turkey?

It is truly a paradox. Seems like virtually every comedian battles some bad demons. Like every freaking one. Find me a happy well adjusted comedian. I dare you.

Watching the video it's obvious that he was troubled. He hated his living arrangements. It seems like that would've been the easiest to change. Anyway it's a horrible waste. Praying for his family and friends to find peace.

Too bad it wasn’t Kimmel. I’m so sick of him talking about free healthcare.

well you will certainly lose .... Zach drives a Toyota Tundra, lives mostly on his farm in NC and lost a bunch of weight. He's not going anywhere.

People with mental illnesses aren't known for always making the most sound decisions.

Could be a wide variety of reasons why.

RIP to Stevens. I hate seeing people lose their life, especially to mental illness.

Pretty sure I saw where he sold that place. Someone asked him about it and he was like "ahhh yeah that didn't work out."
