    Dr. Fredric Brandt, a celebrity dermatologist once called the “Baron of Botox” by W magazine, died Sunday at his home in Coconut Grove, Fla. He was 65.

    Frederica Burden, a spokeswoman for the Miami police, said the cause was suicide.

    Susan Biegacz, a publicist for Dr. Brandt, said he had been dealing with depression for some time and had recently been “devastated” by what is widely believed to be a parody of him on the Tina Fey comedy series “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” presented by Netflix.

    On the show, Martin Short portrays Dr. Sidney Grant, a wispy-haired plastic surgeon whose pneumatic features suggest experiments with Botox and facial fillers run amok.
