Is Bernie Mac Dead?

See Bernie Mac's emotional memorial service here

UPDATE:  We are sorry to report that Bernie Mac died Saturday morning in a Chicago hospital.  Our thoughts go out his family and friends. 

Is Bernie Mac dead?  Rumors have been circulating about the comedian's death since he was admitted to a hospital last week suffering from pneumonia, but his rep insists that Mac is very much alive.

"Bernie Mac is still alive and being treated in a Chicago hospital for pneumonia and is expected to make a full recovery," his rep, Danica Smith, told People.com. "We once again ask that the press respect his privacy and that of his family." 

Mac, 50, has a daughter, 31, and a granddaughter, Jasmine, who is 21 months.  In an interview with Jay Leno last year the Oceans Thirteen star spoke fondly of becoming a grandfather. "I love my daughter, but there's a certain feeling, a certain emotion when you got a granddaughter, you know?"

It must be disturbing for family members to hear rumors of a loved one's death, but glad to hear Bernie's still alive.  We wish him a speedy recovery!

I do not know what JACK-ASS started that rumor about Mr. Mac being die ,but I really think it is an UGLY thing to say when you do not have the facts. I was in GA. at the Bronnor Bros hair show and all my hair stood up on my head and I got very sick. If I knew who was respondable for that comment I would give them a TKO. You may reply JACK-ASS I am not going to reply back you just need to think before you speak next time. How would you like it if someone put you in your grave before time.

A coworker just came into work and said she heard that he died. She claimed it was on the Steve Harvey show; I think she only caught the end of the conversation.

Blessing to his family, friends and fans!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actor and comedian Bernie Mac dies at age 50

By F.N. D'ALESSIO – 3 hours ago

CHICAGO (AP) — Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50.

"Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.

She said no other details were available and asked that his family's privacy be respected.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

It's not a rumor, the update quotes people.com as saying his rep Danica Smith is dispelling the rumors, but no such article exists on the website. All the media houses and news sites are confirming that he has passed.
