Jordan Was Reportedly on His Way to Call Me Kat Set
TMZ has released a new report stating that Jordan was on his way to the Call Me Kat set when he got into the accident. The actor appears on the sitcom as a character named Phil, the head baker at Kat’s (Mayim Bialik) cafe.
Sources said people involved in the show became concerned when Jordan hadn’t shown up more than an hour after his call time. They apparently tried to figure out where he was before learning he had passed away.
TMZ also reports that, according to sources, Jordan had been complaining of shortness of breath over the past three weeks, and he had scheduled an appointment with a cardiologist. Investigators’ current theory is reportedly that Jordan suffered a heart attack while driving.
Production on Call Me Kat has been paused following Jordan’s death.

I wish his family, friends, & loved ones all the best.
