(CNN) — Verne Troyer, who played Mini-Me in two of the Austin Powers comedy films, has died at the age of 49, according to statements posted to his social media accounts Saturday.

 

Troyer was 49. No cause of death was immediately released.

 

He was hospitalized earlier this month after emergency responders in Los Angeles went to his home, according to media reports.

 

"Verne was an extremely caring individual. He wanted to make everyone smile, be happy, and laugh," a statement posted to his social media said. "Anybody in need, he would help to any extent possible. Verne hoped he made a positive change with the platform he had and worked towards spreading that message every day."
