Bernie Mac passing aged 50

[SapphireStar]

Ive just seen this in the shoutbox and had a look on the web and Im shocked. Its been a shocking year for celebrity deaths and all are of course sad.

Latest is Bernie Mac, comedian and actor. I remember seeing him on his own show some years ago and i always had a giggle for Bernie. He then went onto movies and I will mostly remember him for Oceans 11. He had me laughing throughout.

A spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's office confirmed to E! News that Mac had been a patient at Chicago's Northwestern Memorial Hospital for "over a week," and that he died this morning of "natural causes."
Yesterday, Mac's publicist, Danica Smith, responding to rumors that the star had fallen critically ill, said Mac was in stable condition, and was "responding well to treatment."
Mac suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease that can affect any body organ, per the Mayo Clinic's website, but that Mac revealed in 2005 had taken root in his lungs. According to Smith, the pneumonia that struck down the star was unrelated to the disease, which had reportedly been in remission.

Truly a funny man and Heaven just got alittle bit funnier. Rest in peace Bernie.

Wow. This is a surprise. I had no idea Bernie Mac was in poor health or...uh...dead. What a shame. He was definitely a funny dude. Fairly young as well.
