Ewen MacIntosh, a famous comedian, was last seen in a sad post on social media before he died.

Thanks have been sent in droves since the news came out today. It was peaceful death for the 50-year-old star of “The Office.”

As the star explained, he was in the hospital and going through “bad times” because of his health problem. This made fans worry about him.

People who liked the star sent him several messages at the time. Max Rushden of talkSPORT told him, “Sending you all the best, mate x.”

Another actress who was in After Life, Holli Dempsey, wrote, “Sending love and healing vibes to ya Ewen xx.”

Fans of After Life were thrilled to see MacIntosh make a cameo on the show a month before the news came out.

People loved the actor for playing Keith Bishop on The Office with Ricky Gervais. He showed up for a short time in the third episode.

In the end credits for his role in After Life, which was also created by Gervais, his character was just called “Buffet Man,” and he was furious because he was kicked out of an all-you-can-eat restaurant.

The part was a nice nod to Keith, an accounts clerk who was known for his dull office chats and love of Scotch eggs, and fans went crazy.

Someone wrote on Twitter, “OMG, KEITH FROM THE OFFICE SHOWS UP IN AFTER LIFE S3.”

“Keith from The Office in the trailer for Afterlife series 3,” said a second.Is there anything better?”

Another person said, “It’s great to see Keith from The Office in season 3 of After Life.”

“an original in every way”

It comes after the comedy star’s management confirmed his sad death this morning in a statement.

A representative from JustRight Management wrote, “It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful death of our beloved comedy genius Ewen MacIntosh.”

“His family wants to thank everyone who helped him, especially Willow Green Care Home.”

“There will be a private cremation for family & close friends soon & a celebratory memorial later in the year.”

Ricky Gervais is one of many people who have paid tribute to the star.

He wrote, “Very sad news.”

“Ewen MacIntosh, who many people knew as “Big Keith” from The Office, died. He was very funny and very nice.

“An absolute original. RIP.”

Ed Scott, another close friend of Ewen’s, wrote, “I am completely devastated by the loss of my very good friend Ewen MacIntosh.”

“He may have had a famous face known by millions as Keith from The Office but the person inside is what I will most remember.”

Mr. Scott, CEO of Dodged A Bullet Music, said, “Ewen was so kind, honest, and empathetic. He was also a really good man.”

“Sending love to his parents Sara and Ewen Sr, his brother Colin and his family, as well as his many friends and fans.”

A lot of tributes to The Office have been posted on social media.

One person wrote, “Very sad news today that Ewen MacIntosh died.”

People will always remember him fondly as a great guy and an important part of the best British sitcom ever. A great thing to leave behind. Rest in peace.”

“Ewen MacIntosh will always be a legend,” said someone else.

ICON OF COMEDY

Keith, Ewen’s sarcastic accountant on The Office, became a fan favorite with a series of funny scenes, such as dressing up as Ali G.

As part of a staff review, he said that his weakness was “eczema.” He was also famous for a famous scene involving a Scotch egg.

Even though there were many staff changes at the made-up Wernham Hogg paper company, the star stayed until the show’s last episode in 2003.

The actor joked to Vice in 2021 that he didn’t know why Scotch eggs were chosen as his character’s favorite food.

He stated: “The props guy nipped out and bought them last minute.”

In 2020, he was on an episode of Come Dine With Me with Charlotte Crosby and Dawn Ward, as well as After Life.

The actor has been in Miranda, Little Britain, and performed at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
