Vincent, the uncle of Bam Margera, passed away early Sunday morning, TMZ reported.

Bam's mother confirmed the news to TMZ.

Vincent reportedly died after he had slipped into a coma last month from the effects of kidney and liver failure over the course of a few years. His condition had been worsening in recent weeks.

Vincent appeared on MTV's Jackass -- and the Jackass movies that were released in theaters later on -- as well as Viva La Bam, a TV series which debuted in 2003 and concluded in 2006.
