Dana Carvey‘s eldest son, Dex Carvey, has died … TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us Dex passed away Wednesday night after first responders rushed over to a home that his girlfriend had called from in Los Angeles around 10 PM. We’re told Dex was locked in a bathroom, and that he was unresponsive upon discovery.
Our sources say paramedics tried reviving him, but to no avail … he was pronounced dead on the scene. An autopsy has been done, but Dex’s cause of death hasn’t been determined … pending toxicology tests.
Dana and Dex were very close … in fact, Dex was following in his father’s footsteps when it came to comedy — as he was diving into the stand-up world over the past few years.
Dex actually opened for his father in his 2016 Netflix special, ‘Straight White Male’ … during which Dex did a 6-minute set that got some laughs as he worked on material — touching on a number of topics … including pride parades, cult stories and his famous dad.
Dana’s other son, Thomas, is also an aspiring comedian … and the former ‘SNL’ star has spoken fondly of his boys and wanting to help their careers. Dex was only 32.
RIP
