Cosplayer Dies at New York Comic Con

Mitchell Drucker, known as Mitch, a well-known and much-loved cosplayer, died at New York Comic Con this weekend. Jenna Merchant posted the following to social media. "To all friends & family of Mitchell Drucker. Unfortunately, Uncle Mitch passed away unexpectedly this morning while attending his favorite event New York Comic Con. We are very shocked and saddened but find comfort in knowing that he was so excited for this weekend, as he is every year and passed doing what he loved and following his passion. Services will be updated once planned." It's been informed by security at the show that Mitch Drucker suffered a seizure and a heart attack near the top of the escalator, with paramedics arriving around twenty minutes later, but to no avail.

A student of humanities and computer art at Brookdale Community college, Mitch was a graduate of Makeup for Film, TV and Stage at Joe Blasco Hollywood Makeup School, he worked at Walmart in Freehold, New Jersey. He used his makeup skills in creating a myriad of cosplay identities, specializing in Star Wars, winning competitions and making it into the press.

Our condolences to the family, friends and fellow cosplayers of Mitch Drucker. Rest in peace.
