Perhaps an April Fools joke listing his death as 1APR18 as his Twitter account is active, and there is no mention of his death.
I think it was an April Fool's joke. His imdb account would have been updated by his agent if it were true.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:00, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
I did some digging and was unable to locate a traditional reliable source (i.e., obit, funeral announcement). What I have found is:
Died: April 1, 2018 (age 54) in New York City, New York, USA(I know, not reliable, but there is the issue of whether his agent would correct it or not if wrong for so long)
If it's a hoax, the GoFundMe, and its contributors including family, would be over the top. Not that we haven't seen some elaborate hoaxes. Perhaps the organizer will be able to point to something else (and not think me a complete jerk for asking). What say others? Is the AudioFile Magazine source sufficient?

according to Broadway fans I consulted. (Hat tip to reader Eddie Love)., though the next 'graph relates to the get-together mentioned on the GFM page:
...his boyhood neighborhood of Lyon Park. That’s where old friends held a memorial gathering for him in May.. I'm pretty convinced, though I'd rather see if the email I sent yields anything more solid. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 09:41, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
