Kevin Curran passed away after a long period of poor health.
Kevin Curran, a writer and producer of The Simpsons, has died at the age of 59.
Fox confirmed that the six-times Emmy winner passed away at his home in Los Angeles.
Curran met The Simpsons’ showrunner Al Jean when they were both at Harvard – he went on to join the animated series in 2001 and wrote 11 episodes over the subsequent 14 years.
Jean said in a statement: “Kevin Curran was a sweet, brilliant man who said many hilarious things, some unprintable, others which will live forever in a children’s cartoon.”
