CHICAGO - Bernie Mac, the Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actor and comedian who worked his way to Hollywood success from an impoverished upbringing on Chicago’s South Side, 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.
 
Just read this article myself, too bad I thought he was pretty funny and he was not a half bad actor.
 
I guess sometimes the gods just demand a black actor. Let us all rejoice in this sacrifice, that Morgan Freeman may continue to walk among us.
 
A loss to laughs.

Seriously though - live life as you live it so to speak; don't save up for good times later on ... So many people die a sudden death and in that final moment regret that they forgot to live while living ...
 
Call me jaded or uncaring, but I feel absolutely nothing about the death of this man. The only thing about him that I see worth commenting on is that he worked himself up to Hollywood stardom from poverty.
 
yup, the guy certianly is an inspiration, but he has been doing this for so long to finally make it "big" and to be in large movies is kinda sad it took this long.

and then when he finally gets it, he dies.

he was a pretty big stand up comic for a while, but never really hit it big for movies and exposure untill like late 90s or early 2k...
 
A casualty of conventional medicine

rather than addressing the underlying causes of his autoimmune disorders, doctors pumped him up with more chemicals that suppressed his immune system. From there, Bernie Mac was a fatal pneumonia case just waiting to happen, because at that point he was walking around with a suppressed immune system.

In my opinion, this is why Bernie Mac has now passed away: Because his doctors destroyed his immune system and called it "treatment" for a disease, all while ignoring the underlying lifestyle factors that Bernie should have been told were causing his symptoms in the first place.

Oh good, using the passing of a human being to spread alternative-medicine nonsense. It almost sounds like the person writing that article actually knows what he's talking about too. Almost.

Anyways, don't want to turn this thread into an argument about a side-issue. Rare to hear of someone (not elderly) dying of complications from pneumonia. Sad, I liked Bernie in the Ocean's Elven/Twelve/Thirteen movies.
 
He had Sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis can make people who have it vulnerable to afflictions that healthy people would survive.

It's a mysterious disease. For one thing, the two ethnic groups it most often affects (at least in the US) are Northern Europeans and Africans. No one knows why.

I have a friend who has Sarcoidosis, which is why I know a little about it.
