American Horror Story: Freak Show star Ben Woolf dies at 34

American Horror Story: Freak Show star Ben Woolf died Monday after suffering from a head injury last week. He was 34.

Woolf, who played the character Meep on Freak Show, was hit in the head by a car mirror Thursday night as he crossed a street in Hollywood. The actor was taken to the hospital, and remained in critical condition until his death. The Los Angeles Police Department said the driver of the car was not ticketed, as Woolf was jaywalking.

"Ben was one-of-a-kind, and will never be forgotten," Woolf's rep told E! News. "The time we all shared together will be remembered forever." His family added, "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. His memory will live within each of us and within his work."
