Bernie Mac Dies


On Saturday, August 9th, Bernie Mac who was 50 died from complications of pneumonia. He was hospitalized in Chicago. He struggled for his life and couldn't breathe. The comedian's wife and daughter were with him till the end. Bernie had sarcoidosis which is an inflammatory lung disease, but it was in remission. He was on a new medication that suppresses the immune system, and that's where the pneumonia came from. This contributed to Mac's death. He was so young and talented. It is so sad to see someone lose their life at such a young age.
