Actor Michael Clarke Duncan (seen above) who was best known for his breakout role as John Coffey in "The Green Mile", in
which he was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, passed away this morning in Los Angeles at the age of 54.
The actor suffered a heart attack a couple months ago, and was found by his girlfriend and reality star Omarosa Manigault, who revived the actor by using CPR. But Mr. Duncan never fully seemed to recover from this setback.
Mr. Duncan died in a Los Angeles hospital room where he was attended by his fiance Omarosa, and her mother. Michael's rep spoke on behalf of reality TV star Omarosa, "[Omarosa]
Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at
this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be
announced at a later date."
My condolences to the family at this tragic time. RIP MCD.
