ET breaks the news that comedian George Carlin has
died from heart failure. The man who made famous the “seven words you
can never say on television” passed away at 5:55 p.m. Sunday at Saint
John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, his longtime publicist said. He was 71.

Carlin,
who has had several heart attacks and a history of cardiac issues, went
into the hospital this afternoon after complaining of heart problems.

Carlin
has more than 20 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, numerous TV and movie
roles, and three best-selling books to his credit. Last year, he
celebrated his 50th year in show business, and he had just finished his
last HBO special in March, “It’s Bad for Ya.”
