Ben Woolf, a cast-member on the television show, American Horror Story, has died from a head injury after a car accident, a publicist has confirmed.
The 4ft4 (1.32m) actor was hospitalised in critical condition last week at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after he was hit by the side mirror of a passing vehicle on the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Gramercy Place.
His condition had been upgraded to stable, but the 34-year-old died on Monday afternoon with his family at his side, said publicist Zack Teperman.
Before joining the cast of Ryan Murphys FX TV show in 2011, Woolf starred in a string of indie horror films including Murder House, Dead Kansas and Haunting Charles Manson. He was also a stunt extra in Dexter.
Woolfs American Horror Story character Meep is one of Frulein Elsas Cabinet of Curiosities, described as a tiny geek with a singular vocabulary (Meep!) and a singular talent biting the heads off of small animals.
In a statement, Woolfs family said they have been overwhelmed by the love and support they had received from fans. Teperman, his publicist, called Woolf one of the kindest and hardest-working people he knew.
The motorist involved in the accident stopped at the scene on Thursday night and is not facing any charges.
