Actor Ben Woolf dies in street accident

Ben Woolf, an actor from the most recent season of “American Horror Story,” passed away on Monday in Los Angeles. Woolf died from injuries obtained in a street accident. He was thirty-four years old. Woolf died peacefully at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with family at his side. The 4-foot-4 actor (who was diagnosed with pituitary dwarfism) was hospitalized in critical condition after he was struck by the side mirror of a passing vehicle on an L.A.-area street. The driver, who stopped at the scene Thursday night, was not cited or arrested. Woolf was a cast member on the FX show in its first season, back in 2011, where he played a character called the Infantata. In the latest installment, “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” he appeared as Meep, a dwarf who only spoke one word. Members of Woolf’s family said in a statement that they were overwhelmed by the love and support they have received for him.
