Bernie Mac Dead at 50

Oh, I am so sad to report this.

Bernie Mac died from pneumonia this morning in a Chicago hospital. He was only 50 years old.

His publicist released the following statement,

“Actor/ comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family’s privacy continues to be respected.”

It was erroneously reported a few days ago that Mac had died, and at that time his publicist insisted he was in good health. But obviously that wasn’t the case.

Bernie is survived by his wife of 31 years, Rhonda McCullough, daughter Je’Niece and granddaughter Jasmine. He is preceded in death by his mother who died of cancer when Bernie was only 16.

Rest in Peace, sweet man.
