Charlie Murphy, comedian and
older brother of Eddie Murphy, died on Wednesday. He was 57. His publicist, Domenick Nati, confirmed that the
comedian passed away after battling leukemia. The
Brooklyn-native had been receiving chemotherapy treatments.
Murphy had tweeted Wednesday morning before TMZ first reported
his death. The message starts with "Rise & Grind," an opening
used frequently by Murphy on his Twitter account that is often followed by a
motivational message.
"Things may come to those who wait, but only the things
left by those who hustle," the comedian went on to write, mistakenly
attributing the phrase to Abraham Lincoln — a common error. The post was taken down later in the day.
Friends and colleagues of the deceased have since taken to
various online platforms to pay tribute to him.
