Actor and comedian Bernie Mac dies at age 50
 
Aug 9, 9:34 AM (ET)


CHICAGO (AP) - A publicist says Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor and comedian Bernie Mac has died at age 50.

Publicist Danica Smith says Mac died early Saturday at a hospital in the Chicago area of complications due to pneumonia.

The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but he had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently had been hospitalized and treated for pneumonia.

Mac had starring roles in "Ocean's Eleven,""Bad Santa,""Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and "Transformers."

The comedian drew critical and popular acclaim with his Fox television series "The Bernie Mac Show," which aired more than 100 episodes from 2001 to 2006.

Sarcoids is a illness where the body's cells are invaded. Then the body's own immune system destroys the cells. You can have the desease for many years before it becomes active and infects an organ. Sometimes it will go into remission after a time.

There is no known cure. They treat the various symptoms as best they can and hope it goes into remission. Even then, it could come back at any time, infect another organ, or continue to attack the ones it is already in.

There are various stages of the illness which typically attack the lungs, eyes, etc etc etc.
