Actor and comedian Bernie Mac dies at age 50

Aug. 9, 2008, 9:46 AM EST

CHICAGO (AP) -- Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50.

"Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.

She said no other details were available and asked that his family's privacy be respected.

I'm sad to hear this, and just age 50! He was a genuinely kind and funny man, great actor.

Pneumonia is a side effect of the sarcoidosis....

pneumonia can also be a complication to cancer or any other number of things that go wrong with the body...including heart problems.

It is sad when people die young after giving so much of themselves as he did.

Prayers for his family,
Debbie
