Bernie Mac Dies at 50
Posted Aug 9th 2008 8:37AM by TMZ Staff
Comedian Bernie Mac died this morning in Chicago after a long hospitalization from pneumonia.

Mac, whose real name is Bernard McCullough, passed away early this morning at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. He was 50 years old.

His rep just issued the following statement to TMZ: "Actor/ comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. No other details are available at this time. We ask that his family's privacy continues to be respected."

Just a few days ago, Mac's condition was characterized as "stable"; Bernie had been in the hospital for a week.

It just saw this story on the news and couldn't believe it. I knew he had some issues with pneumonia during the last few seasons of his show but I thought he got better? Bernie Mac was my favorite on the Kings of Comedy tour and his show was funny as hell. I remember watching Def Comedy and seeing him back in the day and just laughing my ass off to his ol skool dirty crazy shit.



RIP Bernie

trust me its fake..
How's it fake? They just had Steve Harvey on the phone on CNN just a minute ago talking about what a shock it is to loose his friend.


I know there's a lot of B S that gets posted on this board but this isn't it. Don't belive me just turn on any cable news channel or check CNN.com its on there home page

Again RIP Mr Mac
