Comedian Dana Carvey is taking a break from both work and social media in the wake of his son’s death. Dex Carvey died from an accidental overdose on Thursday. Carvey announced the news on Instagram, where he wrote the break is the result of “trying to figure out what life looks like now that we are a family of 3.”
He wrote, “This is just to say thank you. My wife and I have been overwhelmed by your love, your personal stories, your compassion.”
“We received so many beautiful messages from people who knew Dex. These touched us more than we could ever express in words.
