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."

Not trying to be a as.hole but george Carlin didnt "pass away" Carlin fans know the he "f'ing died" Carlin didnt like passive agressive language. He wanted us all to say exactly what we mean to say, without all the sugar coating.

You will be missed George, I cant belive you died at 71 you were supposed to become a "mean old bastard".
