The Chicago Sun-Times first reported his death, which was later confirmed by CNN and the Associated Press. Although the cause of death was not disclosed, the comedian, whose real name was Bernard McCullough, had been hospitalized recently for pneumonia. He had suffered from sarcoidosis, a respiratory disease, since the 1980's. A columnist for the Sun-Times, Stella Foster, said that a close friend of the family confirmed his death. Mr. Mac starred in the Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show,'' and his film credits include roles in the "Ocean's Eleven" series of movies. Link

Replies IMPULSE Posted at 8:14 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Sad, he was such a good comedian... Homie545 Posted at 8:01 am on Aug. 9, 2008 what? are you serious SovSull Posted at 7:59 am on Aug. 9, 2008 dead at 50 that really sucks Duke Posted at 7:52 am on Aug. 9, 2008 That came as a bit of a shock, since his representatives were bad mouthing people just the other day for saying his situation was critical. Something tells me that there is more to this story than we've been told. I think that pneumonia is going to be shown to be a cover illness. factboy01 Posted at 7:43 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Rest In Peace (RIP). We will all miss you Bernie Mac. K r e s c e n d o Posted at 7:36 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Jesus. Kinda hard to get my head around that he's actually dead o.O I remember seeing him in Guess Who and, of course, Oceans' series. Great actor/comedian... Poor guy ]= That's so sad. DragonTamer Posted at 7:34 am on Aug. 9, 2008 This shocked the hell out of me because the last I heard, he was doing fine. RIP Bernie Mac The Modern Humorist Posted at 7:32 am on Aug. 9, 2008 R.I.P Bernie Mac :( Maybe we should start looking into cures for pneumonia. qi Posted at 7:32 am on Aug. 9, 2008 That's so sad.  I saw him in person once, he seemed like a really nice guy. He was so young too. :[ This year has been rough with actor's deaths. dragonking Posted at 7:31 am on Aug. 9, 2008 Pneumonia is a killer.  That's how my Mom died too.  I think she could have been helped more so she would have lived though. I didn't know he was that old.  It's sad he is dead.
