ACTOR-comedian Sammy Lagmay died on Wednesday afternoon from complications due to diabetes. He was 55.

Lagmay's sister, Mylene, confirmed the passing of the comedian, who died at his home in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, a radio report said.

Lagmay had been suffering from complications from diabetes since 2010. His ailment worsened as it was left untreated due to financial constraints.

The comedian was known for his roles in various TV sitcoms such as "Chika Chika Chicks," "Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata," "Pilya En Da Pilot," "Oki Doki Doc," "Pwedeng-Pwede," and "Aalog-Alog."

Lagmay's wake will be at St. Peter Memorial Chapel in Tandang Sora, Quezon City. (Sunnex)
