On April 9, Michael’s nephew Sam Lerner broke the sad news of his death on Instagram and talked about how much his uncle is already missed.
Sam wrote on Instagram, next to a group of photos of the late actor,
“Everyone that knows him knows how insane he was — in the best way,” “I’m so lucky I got to spend so much time with him, and we’re all lucky we can continue to watch his work for the rest of time.”
