Bernie Mac Passed Away At Age 50 

Very sad news.

Comedian Bernie Mac died early Saturday morning from complications due to pneumonia.

The news was confirmed by his publicist.

He was only 50-years-old.

As our readers know, the funny man had been hospitalized for about a week.

A few years ago, Bernie disclosed that he suffered from sarcoidosis, a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in tissue, most often in the lungs. However, his reps claimed early on that the bout of pneumonia he was fighting had nothing to do with the sarcoidosis.

He is survived by his wife Rhonda McCullough, their daughter, Je’Niece, a son-in-law and a granddaughter, Jasmine.

Our thoughts go out to his family during this very difficult time.
