Bernie Mac passes away

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Comic legend Bernie Mac died yesterday from complications with pneumonia. He was 50.

Mac suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body’s organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease.

“The world just got a little less funny,” said “Oceans” co-star George Clooney.
