Jeff Garcia, the comedian best known for voicing Sheen Estevez in Jimmy Neutron, has died at 50 after weeks of escalating health issues, TMZ reported. Garcia was admitted to a Southern California hospital on Monday with severe shortness of breath. By Tuesday, his lung had collapsed, and he was taken off life support that night. He died the following morning surrounded by loved ones, according to the outlet. His family told TMZ that Garcia had been battling multiple medical problems leading up to his death. He suffered a brain aneurysm earlier this year and later sustained a serious head injury in a fall, but eventually recovered and returned to performing. In late November, he developed pneumonia, and although he initially bounced back, his condition deteriorated again, forcing him to cancel several stand-up shows—something sources said was unlike him. Garcia leaves behind a career spanning stand-up, television, and early-2000s animation, during which his high-energy performances helped define a generation of kids’ TV.
