Josh Grisetti’s cause of death reported as gunshot wound

Josh Grisetti, the Broadway actor who later appeared in the final season of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” died from a gunshot wound, according to a Page Six report citing the Orange County Sheriff’s Department coroner.

Page Six reported Thursday that the coroner provided the cause of death and that the coroner’s report also listed multiple bilateral temporal calvarial fractures and a brain injury. The outlet said those findings pointed to a severe injury to the head.

Grisetti was 44.

His death had already prompted tributes from the theater community, including from actor Rob McClure, who worked with Grisetti on Broadway in “Something Rotten!” in 2015.

McClure posted about Grisetti over the weekend and said his late friend took his own life. McClure also had a close personal tie to Grisetti: he served as best man at Grisetti’s wedding.

A Broadway and TV career

Grisetti was known to stage audiences for his work in the musical “Something Rotten!” on Broadway, where he starred alongside McClure.

He also played Marty Kaufman in the Broadway production of “It Shoulda Been You.”

On television, Grisetti appeared in eight episodes of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” during the show’s fifth and final season.

The Amazon series had a large ensemble and became one of the defining TV comedies of its run. Grisetti’s role placed him in the show’s closing chapter, as it wrapped the story of Midge Maisel and the world around her.

The newly reported cause of death adds a grim detail to the loss of a performer remembered by colleagues from both stage and screen.

No additional family statement was included in the Page Six report.
