LOS ANGELES, CA -- Eric Lynch, who was a regular on Howard Stern's radio show on SiriumXM, died on Saturday at the age of 39.

Lynch's manager, Johnny Fratto, announced the death on Twitter.

"I am so sorry and so sad to inform everyone that my friend Eric 'The Actor' Lynch passed away yesterday afternoon," Fratto tweeted.

A cause of death has not yet been determined.

According to Variety, Lynch first started calling Stern's show in 2002 and had a reputation for yelling at the host. The man who was also known as "Eric the Midget" would later be part of Stern's "Wack Pack."

"I loved Eric, I truly truly loved him," Stern said. "He was the greatest."
