Dermatologist Fredric Brandt, whose patients included Madonna and supermodel Stephanie Seymour, was found dead Sunday at his Miami mansion. He was 65.


Dr. Brandt’s publicist, Jacquie Tractenberg, would only say his death came after an illness.


Miami Herald columnist Lesley Abravanel tweeted that sources told her the doctor’s illness was depression.


According to numerous reports, Brandt was said to be “devastated” over comparisons to the character played by Martin Short in the Tina Fey-produced Netflix sitcom “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” which debuted March 6.


Brandt opened an office in Manhattan in 1998 after founding a successful cosmetic dermatology practice in Miami. Brandt was to be the keynote speaker at Happi's Anti-Aging Conference & Tabletop Exhibition, Sept. 10 & 11, 2015.
