New York comedian Hiram Kasten has died at 71, Fox News Digital confirmed. 

Kasten’s wife, Diana Kisiel Kastenbaum, first announced the passing of her husband on Facebook on Sunday. In the post, Diana wrote that her husband’s health took a turn in 2017 while battling prostate cancer and his lifelong Crohn’s disease.

“He is survived by his beloved wife, Diana Kisiel Kastenbaum of Batavia, New York, who loved and tenderly cared for him until the end,” the post read.
