Bernie Mac Dead At 50

Posted by Sassy Smith

 

 

It's a sad day in the world - famous funnyman Bernie Mac has died, at the age of 50.

Although there have been many false reports over the past week of the comedian's death, it's unfortunately true now - he died this morning in Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital, after a long hospitalization from pneumonia.

His rep issued a statement (to TMZ):

"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."

We are so very sorry for the loss his family has suffered.  Rest in peace.

RIP Bernie Mac, my sincere go to his family and loved ones. It was so unexpected, makes u realise that someone can just be taken from this world at any day any time. May he rest in a better place, and his talents will be remembered and respected for the rest of the years to come.
