The veteran actor's family confirmed the news of his passing in a short statement on Saturday.
Following backlash from social media and gender-based violence (GBV) organisations, Shai recently penned an apology to Cassper Nyovest for using vulgar language that involved the rapper's mother.
In a video that has gone viral on Twitter, Shai challenges Nyovest to a boxing match using vulgar language.
Shai is survived by his wife and two children.
Many seem calm and unbothered but are going through a storm inside. Be kind and gentle and pray for one another. You never know what may trigger someone, and what the final straw for them may be. RIP Patrick Shai.
