50 is way too young to die!!!!
CHICAGO - A publicist says Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor and comedian Bernie Mac has died at age 50.
Publicist Danica Smith says Mac died early Saturday at a hospital in the Chicago area of complications due to pneumonia.
The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but he had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently had been hospitalized and treated for pneumonia.
Mac had starring roles in "Ocean's Eleven," "Bad Santa," "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Transformers."
The comedian drew critical and popular acclaim with his Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show," which aired more than 100 episodes from 2001 to 2006

Awe, that really sucks! I agree w/ Scot and VP...way too young. 
Bernie was cool. 
I saw in the news that he was in the hospital for pnemonia...but Morgan Freeman's story seemed more prevelant on media channels...
Rest in Peace Bernie! Your talent will be missed.
