Sources close to Mandel refused to respond to requests for comment by PEOPLE. Just a few days back, the comedian had posted from his hospital bed on social media where he put up a video of him undergoing colonoscopy as well as endoscopy.

He had captioned the post on Instagram with ‘Recovery audition’. The video had him showing his outfit while interacting with another patient who had recognized him and tried auditioning for his show after he got up. 

Back in June, Howie Mandel had spoken about his struggles with OCD and anxiety in an interview with PEOPLE where he started using comedy to push through the toughest moments in his life. He stated that his way of going through life was finding the funny. For, if he wasn’t laughing, he was crying. The voices in his head were as dark as it gets, and when he wasn’t on stage, he was having quite a hard time simply existing. 

Howie Mandel then opened up about his struggles with depression and mentioned that his life’s mission was to remove the stigma that was associated with it. He knew what his reality was, and he wanted others to take it as it were instead of trying to find reasons to vilify mental depression.
