Statement from Richard Jeni's family

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 13th, 2007

There’s a lengthy statement on RichardJeni.com that seeks to quell rumors, restore perspective and exhort fans and others to sign a guestbook.

An excerpt:

The family of Richard Jeni would like to put to rest any assumptions as to the cause of Richard’s death. Despite the fact that the coroner’s office has publicly stated that a suicide ruling will take two weeks, pending the results of an autopsy, Richard Jeni did take his own life.
