Comedian Bernie Mac Dies at 50
Pneumonia takes one of our great comedians
I don't know much about Bernie Mac as a man, but I loved him as an entertainer and I learned today he has died on Saturday after being hospitalized with pneumonia. Publicist Danica Smith confirmed the death in a statement but gave no further details. "We ask that his family's privacy continues to be respected," she said.
Mac, 50, was reported to have been in stable condition on Thursday and his release from the hospital was expected in weeks. Smith had said Mac's bout with pneumonia was unrelated to his previous diagnosis of a chronic tissue inflammation, called sarcoidosis, which has been in remission since 2005.
I didn't even realize Mac was 50-years-old, but nevertheless that is too young to pass away and I couldn't be more sad about the situation.
A few pictures from some of Mac's recent films including Transformers, Ocean's Thirteen, Pride and Guess Who have been added to a new gallery. Click on any of the thumbnails below to check them out.

That is so sad, I was looking forward to Soul Man, I didn't realize he was that sick.
Goes to show how much I pay attention, I didn't even know he was sick. This hit me like a rock!
Such a shame, great stand up comedian and comedic actor. I think his role as Bobby Bolivia in Transformers was the best part of the movie and was also one of the best cameos/bit parts ever. Definitely too young to die.
This sucks. He was one of those great comedians that you could always rely on to make even the worst movies entertaining.
He was a great comedian. 50 is way too young
he will be dearly missed as a comedian and you always wonder wut movies would have came out if he were still with us. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends .
I don't even know what to say. I loved Bernie Mac man. He was one the best comedians out there. I loved just hearing him speak. He was definitely the best out of the Kings of Comedy. "Can I get some milk and cookies". Lol. He will be missed. R.I.P.
