Comedian and actor Mike Batayeh, who appeared on the hit TV show Breaking Bad, has died at the age of 52.

Al-Bataih suffered a cardiac arrest in Michigan on June 1, his sister told TMZ.com. The death was also confirmed by the actor’s publicist to CNN.

His sister told TMZ.com that her brother died in his sleep and that he had no history of heart problems.

“He will be sorely missed by those who loved him and his great ability to bring laughter and joy to so many,” his family said in a statement.

Bataïh appeared in three episodes of the award-winning AMC show between 2011 and 2012 as Dennis Markowski, manager of the Lavandería Brillante industrial laundry.

The laundromat was a front for the meth lab where Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, and Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman produced productions.

Al-Batiya, who has also appeared on The Bernie Mac Show, Boy Meets World, and CSI: Miami, is survived by five sisters.

A memorial service is scheduled for Al-Bataeh in Plymouth, Michigan, next week, his manager told CNN.
