Mike DeStafano Dies of a heart attack at 44

Comedian Mike DeStafano suddenly died of a heart attack in NY.  Mike was a comedian who finished in the top five, of "Last Comic Standing".  He was a heroin addict who discovered standup in rehab.  He lost his wife to Aids.  I really connected to the raw truthfulness of his comedy.  I guess some would find it strange that a cop would admire this guy, and enjoy his comedy, and be a fan.  I was, and really looked forward to meeting him.  I had recently watched his DVD, and befriended him on facebook.  He really loved doing stand up, and was just finishing a tour in New York when he passed away. Yes he was raw, and cursed alot, for sure he was very real, and very funny. RIP Mike.
