Danny Gans Shocking Death at 52

Legendary Las Vegas entertainer has died at his home today, May 1, 2009 at the age of 52. Gans’ wife found the singer and comedian struggling to breathe on Friday and called emergency services.

TMZ.com reports that Gans had already died by the time paramedics arrived.

Gans was known for being a great musical impressionist and was one of the most popular entertainers in Las Vegas since moving there in 1996.

Casino and Hotel mogul Steve Wynn lead the tributes saying:

“Elaine (his wife) and I and all of us in the company are devastated at the loss of our brilliant, talented and loving friend…. one of the most unique human beings and entertainers in the world has been taken from us in an unexpected moment. A profoundly tragic event that leaves us all sad and speechless.

The loss of Danny, to his wife Julie, his children Amy, Andrew and Emily, is at this moment impossible to comprehend. We will all try to go on with our lives without our dear friend. At this moment it seems almost impossible.”

I’m in shock! I never had the chance to see him perform live, but I watched him on 60 minutes a few years ago and found him amazing. How awful! I wonder what happened. My heart goes out to his wife and his three children.

R.I.P. Danny!
