What was Peter Scolari’s cause of death?

It was announced on October 22, 2021, that Scolari had passed away at the age of 66.

It was later reported that Scolari’s death came after a two-year battle with cancer.

At this time it still remains unclear what type of cancer Scolari suffered from.

“The shyest extrovert, the most dramatic comedian, the most humble icon,” Scolari’s co-star Lena Dunham wrote in an Instagram tribute.

“You had lived enough life to know that a TV show was just a TV show, but also to appreciate just what it meant to be allowed to play pretend for a living- and you never let us forget that this job was a privilege.”

He is survived by his wife Tracy Shayne, and children: Nicholas, Joseph, Keaton, and Cali.

At this time, Hanks has not commented on Scolari’s death.
