Friday August 1, 2008
News Update: Sadly, one week after originally posting this rumor, Bernie Mac died. On August 9, 2008, Bernie died of complications from pneumonia in a Chicago hospital.Rumors have been circulating all over the internet that actor/comedian Bernie Mac is dead. His rep, Danica Smith, decided to refute the gossip and come forward with the truth.
"Bernie Mac is still alive and being treated in a Chicago hospital for pneumonia and is expected to make a full recovery. Mr. Mac is responding well to treatment and will be released soon" she told People magazine.
Back in 2005, Bernie, 50, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called sarcoidosis. Let's hope that time in the hospital can bring about a recovery for him.

No no no Bernie isn’t dead. His rep is tellin the truth. He is sick but he isn’t dead.
I love Bernie Mac, “The Mac Man” and I have to say that when I received a text message the other day saying he had passed away I immediately began to question the message and the messenger.
