Police were called to Jeni’s home after receiving a call from his Norma Eisenman, Jeni’s girlfriend, who told the authorities, “My boyfriend shot himself in the face.”

Jeni was found alive in his home with serious injuries to his face, but died shortly after being admitted to a local hospital. In 2004, Jeni was named #57 on Comedy Central’s list of the 100 best comedians of all time. R.I.P.
