Dr. Frederic Brandt, dermatologist to the stars, died on Sunday at the age of 65. Celebrity website TMZ.com cited sources on Monday who said Brandt committed suicide by hanging. The physician who treated Madonna and a slew of A-list stars, was believed to be the inspiration for the eccentric character 'Dr. Grant' in the NetFlix series, 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.' "His publicist said he died after a short illness," according to blogger Perez Hilton. But Brandt was allegedly very upset because he felt the comparisons to the character were extremely unflattering. The doctor had offices in New York City and Miami. He was found dead inside his mansion in Miami by a housekeeper.
