Bernie Mac has died in Chicago, at age 50. The Chicago Tribune reports:
Comedian and Chicago native Bernie Mac died early Saturday morning from complications due to pneumonia, his publicist confirmed.
Mac, 50, had been hospitalized for about a week at Northwestern Hospital, according to his spokeswoman. A few years ago, Mac disclosed that he suffered from sarcoidosis, a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in tissue, most often in the lungs
Sad.
You know for some reason, I always kinda figured it’d be a heart attack with him. Sadder still, that one of his last performances ended up being a source of contoversy.
