Emmy winner, Ben Feigin has died at the age of 47.

 

Feigin, best known for his work as an executive producer of “Schitt’s Creek”, died Monday, October 24.

 

A rep for the producer confirmed his death to The Post.

Feigin was instrumental in the success of “Schitt’s Creek” by finding non-traditional financing to sell the Canadian comedy, Deadline reported. He devised the show’s international Live Nation tour and its Netflix documentary, “Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: A Schitt’s Creek Farewell.”
