Bernie Mac Is Alive, Recovering From Pneumonia
August 4th, 2008Rumors of the comedian’s death shock and frighten fans.

Both Bernie Mac’s publicist and his wife are refuting rumors that the popular comedian died this past weekend. Mac was hospitalized and recovering from pneumonia late last week, publicist Danica Smith told The Chicago Sun-Times. By Saturday, fans in Mac’s native Chicago and those browsing Web sites throughout the country were expressing sadness and posting tributes to the “late” Kings of Comedy alum. It appears that a hoax involving calls to various TV newsrooms led to the scare and caused at least one Chicago network affiliate to scroll the news across the screens of its viewers’ sets at home. “It is a very horrible rumor,” Smith says. “It is absolutely untrue.” Mac’s condition was, in fact, improving, Smith adds: “He’s doing great and hopes to get out soon. He’s Bernie – he’s one of the best guys you’ll meet.” Mac’s wife Rhonda McCullough has been with him at the hospital. Read the latest on Bernie Mac at BET Entertainment Spotlight.

You know for years, people seem to have a bad understanding of things. The key to knowing, is to do your research. Read all you facts carefully and know true statements from false statements. Some of the Media is runnying out of stories to tell so they make up some just to get the public’s attention. Bernie, I pray that you make a speedy recovery and may God give you strength as well as your family. Continue your walk with God and prove yourself by letting them see you and the work of a healing God. Always remember except what GOD allows cause only he’s knows best.
r.i.p bernie mac my family and i will sure miss you..god bless his family to stay strong and have faith that they will meet again love always.
