Jerry Lewis died of heart failure
A spokesperson for the Clark County Coroner���s office in Las Vegas, Nevada, tells ET that the comedy legend���s cause of death was from Ischemic Cardiomyopathy, or heart failure, when he died over the weekend at age 91.
"[Lewis] died peacefully of natural causes at 91 and was surrounded by family and loved ones," the late actor���s rep told ET on Sunday.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Jerry Seinfeld revealed on Instagram that he had filmed an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee earlier this year with Lewis.
���As I���ve said many times, if you don���t get Jerry Lewis, you don���t understand comedy,��� Seinfeld wrote. Spending an afternoon with him a couple of months ago in Vegas for Comedians in Cars was a comedy life moment for me.���
This is not the first time Seinfeld has featured a titan of comedy on his series shortly before they died. Garry Shandling appeared on the show in January��2016, before he died at age 66 in March of the same year.
