John Toomey, Santa Fired for Dirty Joke, Found Dead in Hotel
 |
| John Toomey |
Last December, Toomey was fired after grownups complained about a dirty joke he told in their presence. He became something of a national celebrity in the aftermath of the incident, making the rounds on Jay Leno and finding a better-paying gig at Lefty O'Doul's bar, where he helped attract donations for a holiday charity drive.
Now, the San Francisco Examiner reports, Toomey is dead.
Toomey was apparently found dead in a residential hotel on Market Street. The cause of death has not been determined.
R.I.P., John Toomey -- the last year of your life was a memorable one.
