Eric 'The Actor/Midget' Lynch Dead: Howard Stern Show's 'Wack Pack' Caller Death Shocks Twitter, Fans Offer Colorful #RIP Condolences

Eric Lynch (better known as "Eric The Midget" or preferably "Eric The Actor") was a beloved member of Howard Stern's infamous "Wack Pack." The 39-year-old radio personality passed-away from health issues on Saturday (Sept. 20).

According to TMZ, Lynch began experiencing heart problems and was rushed to a local Sacramento hospital over the weekend. According to the funnyman's longtime friend and manager Johnny Fratto, most of Lynch's major organs simply failed. He passed away on Saturday afternoon, surrounded by close family and friends. Lynch's loyal caretaker Jon was also by his side.

Just last week, Lynch called-in to The Howard Stern Show and revealed that his parents would soon take over such duties, because Jon was moving away.

Lynch's height was cited between 3-3.5 feet - within the threshold to be considered dwarfism. Despite his poor health conditions, Lynch always insisted that he already "outlived every doctor's prediction for his life expectancy."

The "In Plain Sight" actor first called Stern back in 2002, to discuss "American Idol" and singer Kelly Clarkson's "attractiveness." Stern found Lynch quite amusing, especially with his unique voice and speaking style. "Eric The Actor" was soon born, and Lynch became a regular call-in to the show.

Here's just one classic example of Lynch's entertainment:
