SiriusXM radio, platform of the Howard Stern Show also tweeted in condolence, "Rest in peace, Eric the Actor. We love you."

He called the Stern show recently, informing listeners that his parents were going to take over Fratto's caretaking duties. Variety mentioned that although he was "plagued by various health conditions," he said about outliving his life based on predictions from physicians.

Born in California on March 11, 1975, Eric stood 3 feet (0.91 m). He had many nicknames including Eric the Midget, Eric the Astronaut, Eric the Extra, Eric the Ungrateful Midget and most popularly, Eric the Actor. He was also called the "Wack Packer."

Eric the Actor made his television debut on the 2005 series "American Dreams." His career included participation in "Howard Stern on Demand" (2005) and "Legit" (2013), among others.

The outlet also mentioned that he was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. According to Mayo Clinic, the syndrome is a group of congenital disorders that affect connective tissues, including the skin, joints and blood vessel walls. Characteristic traits include overly flexible joints, stretchy and fragile skin and fatty lumps at pressure points. For fair-skinned people, blood vessels under the skin are visible.

What is potentially fatal about the disorder is its vascular subtype, simple called the Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It weakens the heart's largest connecting artery, responsible for delivering blood to the rest of the body.

Consequently, arteries of the kidneys, spleen, uterus and large intestine are also affected. Weakened arteries may eventually rupture, causing severe internal hemorrhage which is potentially fatal. The patient could die of multiple organ failure and shock.
