Just saw this on CNN, apparently he died from pneumonia :(

He was in Ocean's Eleven? He was young. RIP

Yeah, this is very sad. Too many good people are dying early.

I just saw the news on my cell phone. How can someone die from pneumonia. Isn't it just like a strong cold?

imjustme · #5 08-09-2008

Yeah but he apparently had an illness that, combined with pneumonia, could be deadly. He was expected to recover fine just yesterday and then died today :( I wonder what they'll do with the next Ocean's movie ...

Bernie Mac was A king of comedy. You will be missed. R.I.P.

pneumonia is very serious and any one with any other illnesses makes it that more deadly and especially with older people or people with weak immune systems.

Way worse than a cold. Thousands die from this condition every year. Your lungs fill with fluid and both young and old people die from this every year. Also, people with weakened immune systems are at risk.

It is a sad loss to the entertainment world.

Call me sarcastic, but if he died from pneumonia - he probably had AIDS, but they are covering it up.

My uncle died from fluid filling up in his lungs. Even though my uncle went through two heart attacks and a heart bypass and was still ok and living but this symptom got him. My uncles daughter is an doctor but she couldnt even do qnything to save her dad and the hospital he was in didnt have the right equipment to take the water out of his lungs. My dad also had pneumonia but thank God he is ok.

There's no basis for that assumption. As previously said, thousands die from pneumonia so by your reasoning all those people had AIDS and people are covering it up lol? Unless you're forgetting something, that is a really cynical view.

RIP Bernie Mac

AIDS, lol wow. People die of Pneumonia everyday as it is VERY serious illness. Some people even have what is called "walking pneumonia" and dont even know it and end up dying. I have heard he was a heavy smoker but not sure how true that is. If so, that would have a lot to do with his health problems.
