Comedian Teddy Ray Died Of Apparent Drowning Found In Pool By Worker

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office tells TMZ they responded to a call Friday morning around 10 AM. at a private residence in Rancho Mirage, where a maintenance worker reported finding a man floating in the pool. Officers arrived and discovered Teddy dead in the pool. The RCSO tells us there were no obvious signs of foul play. It’s unclear which pool the comedian drowned in — the coroner says he lived in Gardena, Calif. — 2 1/2 hours away from the desert. We’re told investigators will wait for all the results from Teddy’s autopsy before determining an official cause of death. Ray was known for his appearances on HBO’s “Wild ‘n Out,” “How to Be Broke” and “Pause with Sam Jay” … as well as his work on MTV’s “Messyness.” He was a very funny guy and had great timing and delivery with his jokes and gags. TR had both scripted and unscripted work to enjoy – and tributes poured in all weekend when the sad news broke. Comedy Central wrote: “Teddy Ray was a hilarious and beloved performer. He will be greatly missed by the entire comedy community. Teddy was a stand-up comedian — improv, skits/sketches and old-fashioned stand-up at a very high level. He has been in showbiz since 2011. He has 17 credits to his name, spread across many projects. Teddy was 32. RIP
