Comedian Garry Shandling has died Thursday at the age of 66, TMZ reports.

Los Angeles Police have confirmed that Shandling died, according to Reuters. A cause of death is not yet know.

There were questions about whether the report of his death was a rumor or hoax, because it was first sent out by the TMZ app, before a story appeared on the website about 15 minutes later

Representatives for Shandling, best known for The Larry Sanders Show, along with his other work on the TV comedies, have not yet commented.

Shandling most recently appeared in the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier in 2014 as Senator Stern.

He was a guest on Jerry Seinfield’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” this January, in an episode titled, “It’s Great That Garry Shandling Is Still Alive.”
