It's a sad day in the entertainment world. Chicago comedian Bernie Mac has died 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.
No other details were immediately available and the family asked that their privacy be respected.
Mac suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which Smith said was not related to the disease.
Ironically, it was just last weekend that rumors flew around that he had passed away. Unfortunately that rumor became reality this morning.
I got the call at 7:45am this morning. I still cant believe it.
