His death came after a nine-year private battle with cancer, his management firm, Brillstein Entertainment said.

Lori Jo Hoekstra, Macdonald's longtime producing partner and friend, was with the comedian when he died, according to reports.

Hoekstra says that though Macdonald had been battling cancer for nearly a decade, he was determined to keep his health struggles private, and away from his family, friends and fans.

"He was most proud of his comedy," Hoekstra said. "He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him. Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that 'a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.' He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly."

Canadian-born Macdonald began his career as a writer on Roseanne, a job he held from 1992 to 1993. He went on to appear on SNL from 1993 to 1998. He anchored the show's "Weekend Update" segment for three seasons.

After his SNL stint, Macdonald started his own sitcom, The Norm Show, for three years. Throughout his career, Macdonald appeared in films including Billy Madison, Funny People, Grown Ups, and TV series including Sunnyside, Girlboss and The Middle.

And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts...[b]

After death comes Judgement. And to the rest of us that are still alive, death could come anytime. Where would you spend eternity? Have you given it a thought today? Accept Jesus Christ now that you've still got life. Tomorrow may be late.

Diet, Environmental degradation (from the atmosphere which affects the air we breath), medication which end up being toxic overtime. Etc
