Bernie Mac is dead at 50, apparently due to complications regarding pneumonia.
Bernie Mac has been making headlines for the last months, and has stolen a particularly high amount of time in the media spotlight in the last weeks.
It was rumored last week he had died, but his publicist dispelled the buzz. It's all very confusing. We're going to assume he really is dead, as now the New York Times and Sun Times have both confirmed Bernie Mac's death. This is guaranteed to be Bernie Mac's biggest -- and last -- spike in the media limelight.
The comedian was the start of the "The Bernie Mac Show," and his film credits include roles in the "Ocean's Eleven."
The video above shows the most recent media coverage of Bernie Mac, from August 4, at which point it was anticipated he would recover.
