Actor Comedian Bernie Mac passed away early Saturday morning in Chicago at the age of 50. His death is most likely attributed to pneumonia he was suffering from, he was recently hospitalized for the illness.

Bernie Mac has a long record of achievements, however, he is known to us at TFW2005.com for his recent role in the live action Transformers Movie from 2007, playing the role of Bobby Boliva, the used car salesman who sold Sam and his father Bumblebee during a key scene in the film.

We at TFW2005.com and on behalf of the Transformers fandom would like to give his friends family and fans our best wishes. RIP Bernie Mac.

Karl Hartman:
I just heard on the news this morning that Bernie Mac has passed away. Dunno if it should be front page news, but I feel it should at least be mentioned, considering his new relationship with Transformers.

Condolences to his family,

Karl

South Sider, actor Bernie Mac, dies at 50 :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: People
Hmm. According to Wikipedia, that's a tabloid. We should wait until further confirmation by other sources before we bury him next to Shia LaBeouf's amputated pinkie finger.

I would gladly welcome this as a rumor....
Gen. Magnus:
Everything else I am reading says he is responding well to pneumonia treatment and is quite alive.
Thundershot:
According to Good Morning America, he passed away....
Shokaract:
SFGate: Daily Dish : Bernie Mac To Be Released from Hospital Soon

this site says he is recovering well and should be out of the hospital soon
Spiderus Prime:
R.I.P .
Kenji:
Many Sources are saying he isn't and hardly any say he is.

Also one of the above pages has been removed so I guess he isn't.
nkelsch:
Wow, what did he die of? Articles are saying he was fighting pneumonia but he is still alive... I hope he is ok!!! pneumonia is bad sauce and it is always terrible when someone dies of that.

I always liked him as a comedian. I hope he is still alive!
Ironhide2005:
Thats sad and so shocking.
Jochimus:
Nothing about Bernie Mac dying that I can see, just producer Bernie Brillstein : News from WENN
shin03:
I can"t believe it. He was way too young. God be with his family.
Jeremy.B:
Yeah, that CST article has been pulled. I do hope it is a rumor.
Jeremy.B:
none of the major outlets are reporting it - USAToday, MSNBC, CNN, FOX, etc.
wipedout:
Until I see a credible source report this I just don't believe it.
Dark_Convoy:
Every link I found about it leads to "page not found".
snkeyes069:
Maybe he's sharing a hotel room with Doris Day, Ernest Borgnine and Abe Vigoda.

...oh, wait. They're still alive, too!

Comedian, South Sider Bernie Mac dies at 50 :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Obituaries
Tony_Bacala:
Guys, he got sick last week, and people reported he died. That was false. He however, has died since then, like, hours ago. The article linked in the second post quotes his publicist, and references the fake death stories from last week.
icanfly:
I hope this is rumour. I'm not familiar with alot of his work but I enoyed his little role in our new transformers lore
Hopefully not, but RIP

plowking:
Dang....they just said it on my local news channel (Fox 2).....they have reported that he has died.....

It is true bernie mac is dead due to complications with his condition. On a unrelated note Shia LaBeouf does not have an amputated finger .
Jeremy.B:
that second link not working on my end. I still only see it in gossip sites. But the fact that PK saw it on local FOX is not good news.
MegaPrime33:
I dont see anything at all on CNN or other major sites. Watching the news now and nothing on it either. I'll wait for them to say to so to believe it, since the story keeps flip-flopping.
snkeyes069:
MSNBC just put up a banner:

"BREAKING NEWS: Comedian Bernie Mac dies in hospital, NBC reports"

So sad...

Jetstorm:
That's a shame if it's true... I've never been a fan of his but I thought he was hilarious in Transformers.
Waveride:
F**k
MnemonicSyntax:
Oh my God.

I just can't believe it. I really can't.


RIP Bobby B.
snkeyes069:
CNN and Fox news just put up banners. This appears to be real...
Kenji:
CNN Just also reported him dead looks like he is gone R.I.P
Jeremy.B:
Yeah, everyone is reporting it now
Johnator:
Well he wasn't a very good actor or even that funny but it is sad if true that he died. His part in Transformers wasn't bad. RIP and God Bless.
plowking:
Fox 2 just "recapped" the story....they even mentioned the rumors of his death last week....but they said that his publicist has confirmed it....

I'm gonna miss you Bernie....you were great.

ErechOveraker:
That's really sad. I was slow to get into his Fox show, but once I did, I found it was actually really well written, and funny (funniest line ever was him responding to someone once with "that threat's got less teeth than babygirl" - that's gold!), and genuine too. But towards the last few seasons you could really see him start to degrade physically and mentally too. Then when all these dying rumors started popping up, even if rumors, it still just felt like a matter of time.

Well at least now he really ain't scared of us mother ****er's.

RIP Uncle Bernie.
Tony_Bacala:
Karl Hartman wins at the internetz!

Kinda fucked up that Georgia (the country) and Russia have basically just declared war on each other, and we are looking for news on Bernie Mac's death. Both are fucked up, just on different levels I guess.
optimusfan:
Chicago Tribune too: link

Arcee:
No return of Uncle Bobbi B then. My prayers go out to the family.
Autovolt 127:
Alright is he dead or alive cause many websites say he's not dead and he's dead.

but if he is.

RIP Uncle Bobby B.

you will be missed.
Ezilla82:
OMG. This is some very sad news..I send my prayers to his family and friends. To you Bernie Mac thanks for your memories of making us laugh. So God speed & Rest In Peace, but still 50 years old is still quite young.
Ash from Carolina:
Didn't like his role that much in Transformers but he did some other parts I really liked. Sad to hear that he died at the still relatively young age of 50. Even with being sick for a while it must have been a bad shock for his friends and family to hear this sad sad news.
MushroomPrime:
Oh my God, this is so sad

Ahhhhh Fuuuuck :'(:'(:'(:'(:'(
Joe Moore:
Only 50...So young.
Gen. Magnus:
Damn shame - Georgia v Russia and Bernie Mac.
Paladin:
RIP.
CripNite:
RIP Mr. Mac.

50? That's too young.
