Dr. Fredric Brandt‘s tragic death this weekend has been ruled a suicide.

“From what we have determined, it was a suicide,” a spokeswoman for the Miami police told People in a statement.

Following initial reports that he was battling an illness, a rep for the late dermatologist spoke out to confirm that he was suffering from depression.

“It is absolutely not a terminal illness,” his rep said. “His publicist can confirm that he suffered from depression.”

Fredric reportedly was upset over the way he was depicted by actor Martin Short in the new Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Dr. Fredric Brandt was found dead at age 65 on Sunday (April 5) at his mansion in Miami, Fla.

The dermatologist to the stars reportedly was battling depression after being “devastated” by comparisons to the plastic surgeon character played by Martin Short in the new Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Fredric‘s patients included Madonna, Kelly Ripa, and supermodel Stephanie Seymour. He has admitted to using himself to experiment with injections of fillers.

“I’ve been kind of a pioneer in pushing the limits to see how things work and what the look would be,” Fredric told the NYT (via Daily News). “Would I change anything I’ve done? I might not have used as much Botox, because you don’t want to look quite as frozen.”
