"Linda wasn’t just hilarious; she was incredibly sweet, energetic and enthusiastic — working with her brightened everyone’s day," Superstore executive producers Gabe Miller and Jonathan Green said in a press release. "We’re lucky to have been a small part of her long career. The Superstore family won’t be the same without her."
There's no word on if Superstore will address her death.
