Actor and comedian Bernie Mac has died in a Chicago-area hospital from complications due to pneumonia. He was 50.
The Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated performer had suffered from sarcoidosis, which is an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the organs of afflicted persons.
"Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," Danica Smith, his publicist, said Saturday in a statement from Los Angeles.
Smith said no other details about Mac's death were available.
Mac had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He had recently been hospitalized for treatment of pneumonia.
Mac's big-screen credits include "Ocean's Eleven," "Bad Santa," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Transformers."
R.I.P BERNIE MAC a great actor and comedian....
