Comedian Bernie Mac died early this morning (Saturday) at a Chicago hospital from complications from pneumonia.
Mac had been in the hospital for about a week prior, dealing with complications from sarcoidosis, “a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in tissue, most often in the lungs”.
In addition to starring in “Bernie Mac Show” on Fox, Mac had spots in the cult classic “Friday”, the “Oceans” franchise, and most recently, “Transformers”. He also had a long stand-up career, highlighed in “The Original Kings of Comedy.”

I was devastated when I heard the news. A celebrity's death never hit me so hard. He was so young. I'm still not quite over it, and I didn't even know him personally. Sigh…
