Vincent ‘Don Vito’ Margera, ‘Jackass’ Favorite, Dies at 59 - Vincent “Don Vito” Margera, best known for his appearances on MTV’s “Jackass” and “Viva La Bam” and the uncle of Bam Margera, died early Sunday, Bam’s mother told TMZ. He was 59.

The reality star died of liver and kidney failure, according to TMZ. He had slipped into a coma in Philadelphia last month after his condition continued to worsen.

Vincent was a favorite of the “Jackass” guys, often becoming a target of their pranks due to his short temper. He appeared on the MTV series and the “Jackass” movies, as well as having a prominent role in his nephew’s “Viva La Bam,” which aired on MTV from 2003 to 2006.

Vincent’s death is only the latest loss to the MTV family in recent years. “Jackass” star Ryan Dunn died in June, 2011, in a car accident at the age of 34.
