Harold Ramis Dead at 69

Hollywood’s most successful comedy filmmakers Harold Ramis has died due to complications of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis!

Harold Ramis is most known for his films like Ghostbusters 1 & 2, Stripes, Analyze This and many many more…

CelebNMusic247.com has learned that Harold Ramis, 69, was surrounded by family when he died at 12:53 a.m. from complications of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, a rare disease that involves swelling of the blood vessels, his wife Erica Mann Ramis said. He was  a longtime North Shore resident.

Ramis’ serious health struggles began in May 2010 with an infection that led to complications related to the autoimmune disease, his wife said. Ramis had to relearn to walk but suffered a relapse of the vaculitis in late 2011, said Laurel Ward, vice president of development at Ramis’ Ocean Pictures production company.

Ramis leaves behind a formidable body of work, with writing credits on such enduring comedies as “National Lampoon’s Animal House” (which upon its 1978 release catapulted the film career of John Belushi, with whom Ramis acted at Second City), “Stripes” (1981) and “Ghostbusters” (in which Ramis also co-starred) plus such directing efforts as “Caddyshack” (1980), “National Lampoon’s Vacation” (1983), “Groundhog Day” and “Analyze This.”

His films will never be forgotten as they are Hollywood classics and if you’ve not familiarized yourself with Ramis CelebNMusic247.com recommends to do so.

The writer-director Ramis got his start as a Second City performer. he will be forever missed.
