Ben Woolf from "American Horror Story: Freak Show" has died
in an L.A. hospital from injuries suffered last week when he
was hit by a passing car. A source close to Woolf tells us he
died from a stroke on Monday afternoon. He had been heavily
sedated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center since the accident
last week. TMZ broke the story ... Woolf -- who played Meep
on the hit show -- got clipped in the head by the side view
mirror of an SUV as he was crossing a street in Hollywood.
The driver was not arrested or ticketed because Ben was
jaywalking. Woolf's family tells us -- "We have been
overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from all
over the world for our beloved Ben. He touched so many
hearts in his 34 years." Over the weekend, doctors upgraded
his condition to stable -- but warned it was still touch and go
since he had not woken up. We're told Ben's organs are
being donated and will help about 50 people. Family
members tell us they're planning a memorial service in Santa
Barbara.
