Shocking And So Sad: Celebrities Who Ended It All

Fredric Brandt

Dermatologist to the stars Frederic Brandt hung himself in Miami in 2015, at the age of 65. With celebrities like Madonna as clients, Brandt himself achieved a level of fame, and his unusual appearance was mocked in popular culture.

Martin Short’s portrayal of Brandt on an episode of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is cited as a contributing factor to the suicide.
