Cincinnatti Enquirer story sent to us by reader Michael Lively says that Blair Shannon was shot and killed in a burlglary in his hotel room in St. Thomas.
Blair Shannon’s brother, Lester of Cincinnati, said the family’s main concern now is Blair’s daughter, Chelsey, 14.
“She has a large family to surround her, and we will make sure she’s taken care of,quot; he said. “But she’s been through so much in her life.”
Shannon’s wife, Amy, died of leukemia in 1998.
The Male Half of the Staff worked with Shannon a few years ago at the Comedy Stop at the Trop in Atlantic City and found him to be a likeable fellow and an appealing comedian. He will be missed.
