In one of the oddest extended rumors in some time, the Internet was abuzz with the rumor of Bernie Mac's death. Bernie Mac's death was supposed to be from pneumonia and an inflammatory lung disease, and had been speculated for almost a week. However, real reports soon surfaced that Bernie Mac's death had not occurred, and that Bernie Mac would recover. In fact, as soon as a few hours ago, speculation was that Bernie Mac would be out of the hospital in the next few weeks. But sadly, it might be that this speculation is wrong as well. For new reports of Bernie Mac's death may actually be accurate.
Several hours ago, Google had reports that Bernie Mac would recover from his sickness. But yet just recently, a report from the Associated Press only says that "Bernie Mac's publicist says the actor and comedian has died." Now more reports are coming in that Bernie Mac's death at the age of 50 is confirmed- a final tragic end to an already weird and heartbreaking story filled with unusual twists and turns that only the Internet age could provide.
The Bernie Mac death story began when he was hospitalized on August 3'rd for phenomena. Soon after, rumors of his death swirled all over the Internet and other news sources, and the question "Is Bernie Mac dead?" was popular on Google Trends for days. Stories were posted about whether Mac was going to die or if he was already dead.
Finally, Mac's representative, Danica Smith, quelled those rumors by saying Mac was alive and expected to make a full recovery. Smith said Mac was "responding well to treatments."
Mac had a condition called sarcoidosis, in which inflammation of tissue around the lungs can be caused and can be very dangerous. However, reports up to about a few hours ago said Mac was on the mend and would soon recover.
