I was shocked to find out last night that he’d died on the 23rd. I never saw anything on the news, didn’t hear about it until yesterday. Does anyone know what the cause of death was (other than the fact he was in his 90’s)?
I will miss him. He was not only a talented comedian, but a fabulous musician with a wonderful wit. Godspeed to wherever you are headed, Mr. Borge.
What a bummer; this is the first I’ve heard. He was a funny guy.

[CNN quote]He died “peacefully, no pain,” she (his daughter) said. “He died of terminal life. He was 91 years old and his heart stopped.”[/CNN quote]
I was fortunate enough to see him perform live a few years ago. My brother and I were raised watching him. Sorta can’t believe he’s not around anymore.
Fare thee well, indeed.
