Comedian-actor Mark Curry, best known as the star of the 90s TV sitcom, Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper said on The Montel Williams Show (which aired last Thursday) that comedy kept him from committing suicide after suffering second degree burns over 18 percent of his body. A can of spray starch ignited the fire in his home. Curry also said fellow comic friends Sinbad and Bill Cosby supported him and he realized that he has reasons to live.
