Bernie Mac Dies at 50
9 August 2008 8:08 AM, PDT
Latest: Comedian Bernie Mac has died after losing his battle with pneumonia.
The 50-year-old passed away on Saturday morning at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.
News of the actor's illness emerged last week, but his publicist Danica Smith released a number of statements earlier this week (begs04Aug08) playing down reports of Mac's deteriorating health.
On Thursday, Smith said Mac was "in a stable condition" and was "responding well to treatment". She even went as far to predict he will be released from hospital within a matter of weeks.
But the star died on Saturday after experiencing complications from the condition, reports TMZ.com.
His representative says, "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."

from wiki
Mac married Rhonda McCullough in 1977. They had one daughter, Je'Niece (born 1978), who attended Xavier University of Louisiana, where she received both her bachelor's degree in Psychology and master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. She has been married for three years and has one daughter, Jasmine, making Bernie Mac a grandfather.
Mac suffered from sarcoidosis, a tissue inflammation disease, since 1983. He said it had no effect on his daily life.
