Gilbert Gottfried’s family is asking for the late celebrity's fans to show their support by donating money for research of the disease that took his life.

On Wednesday, a tweet shared from the late-comedian’s official account and his family asked for donations to the research of the "debilitating" Myotonic disease.  "In Honor/Memory of Gilbert Gottfried who passed "Too Soon" of Myotonic Dystrophy Type Two: In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the research of this debilitating disease.
