Unbelievable he was only 50!
Comedian Bernie Mac died at Northwestern Memorial hospital early Saturday morning, according to Sun-Times Columnist, Stella Foster. He was 50.
Though the cause of death has not been confirmed, Mac had been hospitalized recently for pneumonia. Foster said that she received calls early Saturday morning from a close friend of the Mac family, confirming the reports of Mac's death.
I can't think of many who did not like him. A gifted comedian & actor. |

Wow. I just read yesterday that he was doing well and was expected to recover. Nice call on that prognosis doc.
I'm sorry to hear about this. My heart goes out to his friends and family.

Thanks for all the laughs...
His publicist said just a little bit ago that Bernie Mac is dead at 50. http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movi....ap/index.html
