Tim Conway has died at the age of 85 after battling dementia.He passed away at 8:45 a.m. in the Los Angeles area on Tuesday, his rep Howard Bragman confirms to PEOPLE.Prior to his death, he suffered complications from Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) and had no signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s.
Love to watch Tim on the Carol Burnett Show. It was difficult for his co stars to keep a straight face working with him.
What a terrific comedian.
The article concerning his passing is a little hard to understand. First they say he had been battling dementia and then they said he had NPH and no signs of dementia.
NPH causes swelling of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain and can cause dementia.
He will be missed.
