Stevens was an actor in many different series on television as well as in movies including I’ll Believe You, Blind Ambition, Due Date, as well as the first two Hangover movies. Since he passed away, there was an outpouring of support from comedians in the LA and New York comedy scene.

People like Kathy Griffin, Owen Benjamin, and Patton Oswalt all came out with tweets or videos in support of him. This is just another star to commit suicide in recent years, including Anthony Bourdain, and Kate Spade, who both passed away during the summer months of last year from suicide.

Reports have it that Stevens committed suicide by hanging, but police haven’t confirmed that yet. As most know, suicide and mental health have become one of the most talked about issues in recent years among celebrities. Even Pete Davidson insinuated that he’d kill himself on Instagram.

The Saturday Night Live star took to his social media to say that a cascade of people had told him to commit suicide following his breakup from Ariana Grande.

The tide has turned regarding the culture’s outlook on mental health issues, but it’s too bad that Stevens couldn’t be reached. Our thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of Brody Stevens during this difficult time.
