"It is with a broken heart that I tell you that my dear brother @chuckwoolery has just passed away. Life will not be the same without him. RIP brother," Dr. Mark Young, who co-hosted a podcast with Woolery, wrote on social media late Saturday.
Young separately told TMZ he was at Woolery's Texas home when Woolery said he wasn't feeling well and went to lie down.
A short time later, he was struggling to breathe.
Paramedics were called, but he died before they could transport him to a hospital.
