Ken Flores, Beloved Comedian, Dead At 28 Amid National Tour

"You were greatness, and it was only a matter of time until the whole world saw it," one comedy club wrote after the young comic's death.

Comedian Ken Flores died on Tuesday at age 28 after embarking on a national tour.

A Los Angeles County Medical Examiner report confirmed his death after it was announced on Flores’ social media pages. While a cause was not officially confirmed, TMZ reported the beloved comic suffered a cardiac arrest via law enforcement sources.

Flores was scheduled to perform Thursday at a club in Phoenix after a gig in Norcross, Georgia, People reported. His tour had begun Jan. 10 in Portland, Oregon, and was supposed to conclude in San Diego in mid-April.

Rene Vaca, a friend, told the Los Angeles Times they had put together another tour that would reap a deserved windfall for Flores, who had built a following through gigs at venues such as LA’s Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store and the Hollywood Improv.

“We were gonna break seven figures, we were gonna be millionaires together, it was gonna be special,” Vaca told the Times. “Hopefully we can still do it in honor of him and give all the money to his family or something. The timing is so messed up because we just found out the news about the tour the day before and then this happens.”
