Dead of heatstroke at 46. The poor guy also got a medical discharge from the Navy in 2005 and had a service dog, so that may have been a contributing factor, whatever the issue was.

Let me guess, it's full of racist/stereotypical tropes that I didn't catch when I was 6 years old?

Some of that, though not as much as you'd expect, plus some sexism thrown on top. Mostly it was just really bad writing and the same joke over and over again.
