Dr. Fredric Brandt's Death Was Ruled a Suicide

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.

We send our thoughts and condolences out to Fredric‘s loved ones during this difficult time.
