Bernie Mac Dies At 50
Publicist Danica Smith said Bernie Mac died early Saturday at a hospital in the Chicago area of complications due to pneumonia.
The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but he had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently had been hospitalized and treated for pneumonia. – [SOURCE]
Damn. My pops died a few years back of pneumonia, he was 52. Really, I thought this nation had a handle on pneumonia well enough that people wouldn’t die from it. I just read that most cases of pneumonia can be handled between 2 and 4 weeks but the underlying health of a person is also a factor. There goes a legend and comic genius. Today this drop will contain video instances of said genius.
My condolences to his family and his friends. He touched A LOT of people.
