Bernie Mac Dead at 50

[Kikki]

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.

He was funny as! LOVED The Bernie Mac Show, such a shame he has died rather young.
