When legendary comedian Garry Shandling died in 2016, at the age of just 66, his fans and the show business community were mystified and shocked. Over 40 years on stage and screen, audiences loved his self-analytical and self-deprecating humour and thanks to hit sitcoms like The Larry Sanders Show, he garnered over 60 awards and nominations, including Emmys. Outwardly, he appeared to be in good health, never drinking to excess or using illegal drugs. Instead, he seemed to be always pursuing a busy fitness regime, eating well and practising meditation. Behind the scenes, however, Garry was an obsessive perfectionist and workaholic and suffered intense stress in both his business and personal life. He also battled with serious long-term health conditions resulting in major surgeries and the removal of internal organs, making his medical history complicated. World-renowned pathologist Dr. Michael Hunter is re-opening Garry's medical files to solve the mystery of what caused the fatal blood clot that would ultimately claim Garry's life.
