Quite a shocker. RIP.

I had just heard he was in the hospital with pneumonia and they were making it sound like it wasn't a big deal, so this was really sad news to wake up to.

[John Junk 2.0]

That's very sad.  R.I.P.

[Chris L]

Very funny guy.  RIP. 

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Aw, man!  What a bummer.

[AaronC]

Very sad.  He will be missed.

[Miss]

You'll be missed, funnyman!

is pneumonia code for something else normally? Hard to believe average otherwise healthy adults die from pneumonia still.

[Regular Joe]

This isn't right at all. Bernie Mac was far too wasted on this world.

From the sounds of it, it was the pneumonia coupled with his sarcoidosis (some kind of inflammatory lung disease).

I was sad (and very surprised) to see this when I started the internet this morning. I've been kind of expecting to hear that Paul Newman has died, so this really took me by surprise, especially since I didn't even know he was sick. He was always funny even if he was in bad movies.
