RIP - Michael Clarke Duncan


I am sad to say that Michael Clarke Duncan has died, aged 54.

The Green Mile actor passed away on the morning of September 3 in a Los Angeles hospital.

A representative for the star said that he never fully recovered from the heart attack he suffered 2 months ago.

Duncan's fiancée, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, was with him in the hospital room where he'd been recovering. She left for a short period of time and when she returned, he'd passed away.
"She 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," Duncan's rep said.

Duncan was nominated for 'Best Supporting Actor' at the Academy Awards for for his portrayal of John Coffey in The Green Mile. He also starred in Armageddon and The Whole Nine Yards.

Before his acting career really took off, he worked as a bodyguard for celebrities such as Will Smith, Jamie Foxx, LL Cool J and Notorious B.I.G.

RIP Michael Clarke Duncan...You'll be missed.
