Last week, actor and comedian, Gilbert Gottfried passed away at the age of 67 due to recurrent ventricular tachycardia caused by myotonic dystrophy type 2.
When I heard the news from a Facebook group that he had a form of muscular dystrophy, I was shocked. I knew Gilbert Gottfried as the voice of the parrot in the Disney animated film, Aladdin. I wondered if he’d had a later onset of the disease or had been diagnosed as a child or young adult.
