TMZ reported, citing Stan Lee's daughter, that the legendary co-creator of Marvel Comics has died at the age of 95.
The cause of his death has not yet been reported, while TMZ said that "an ambulance rushed to Lee’s Hollywood Hills home early Monday morning and he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. We’re told that’s where he died."
In February 2018, Lee was hospitalized with irregular heartbeat and a shortness of breath.
Lee, who founded Marvel in 1969 jointly with Jack Kirby, is believed to have created Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Black Panther, the X-Men, and other iconic cartoon characters.
People around the world rushed to Twitter to express their condolences.
I’m literally in tears. Stan Lee’s imagination changed so many lives, including mine. #RIPStanLee pic.twitter.com/rYqmcfwRXE
