No cause of death was immediately released, but it was reported that the actor was hospitalized earlier this month after emergency responders went to his L.A. home.
Verne's biggest role was Mini-Me, the pint-sized clone of Mike Myers' Dr. Evil, in the Austin Powers franchise. Myers issued a statement over the weekend, calling Verne the "consummate professional and a beacon of positivity," adding:
"I hope he is in a better place. He will be greatly missed."
Sadly, Verne isn't the only star we've lost in 2018…
Over the weekend, this celebrity shared a photos of her rocking her growing belly in a red bikini — just three weeks after announcing she was expecting her third kiddo!
The 39-year-old actress wrote alongside the picture (above):

Kevin Smith is such a candid speaker, saying his heart attack was "the best thing that ever happened" to him.
Not only is he adorably self-deprecating about all the bad choices that led to it, he's being very open about what to he's doing to change, including losing 32 lbs so far (in addition to the 85 a couple years ago)!
In a Today interview Monday, the Clerks director and podcaster got very real about the actual experience of having his life saved in the hospital, explaining how he was terrified of dying — and singing the "very hopeful" Degrassi theme song.
Most importantly, he says he had no idea he'd even had a heart attack until after the operation — just that there had been a massive weight on his chest that kept him from catching his breath. So please, don't write these things off!
As we reported earlier, on Monday, the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to her third child with Prince William. While the brunette royal welcomed her new prince into the world only around 11 a.m. (U.K. time), Kate has already stepped out with her husband and newborn to make the journey home to Kensington Palace.
What's even crazier is — the Duchess looks absolutely fabulous post birth. Yes, we're certain the 36-year-old mother of three has an extensive grooming/styling staff to tend to her. But, seriously, she's freakin' glowing.
And we aren't the only ones who've noticed. Unsurprisingly, after William and Kate debuted their third kiddo to the press outside of St. Mary's Hospital, many took to Twitter to praise the high profile momma's afterbirth look.
