According to TMZ, sources with direct knowledge of the event report that Davis was apparently found in his hotel room bed on Tuesday. The impersonator’s cause of death has not yet been determined, and an autopsy will apparently be performed to determine exactly what happened.
Donny’s death appears to have been completely unexpected. The outlet notes that he was “partying at one of the nearby hotel casinos hours before his body was discovered.”
So sad…
Donny was very well-known in the entertainment community. He was a regular guest on Handler’s late-night talk show Chelsea Lately for years, and sometimes memorably filled in for Chuy Bravo as Chelsea’s sidekick on air.
In 2013, Davis was hired as a dancer for Spears’ Vegas residency show. TMZ notes that he was “a favorite pal” of Britney’s for years throughout their time working together. In fact, back in 2017, he took to Instagram to reflect on his working relationship with the Toxic singer, calling her “an inspiration and a role model.”
