Michael Clarke Duncan Has Passed Away

Well, here's a reason to end your holiday weekend by hugging another bottle of whiskey. As you can tell from the sound of Mr. Jingles weeping, Michael Clarke Duncan passed away this morning at a hospital in Los Angeles. He was only 54 years old.

Back in July, Michael had a heart attack and didn't ever fully recover. Michael was recently hospitalized and his fiancee Omarosa (yes, that Omarosa) was with him this morning. TMZ says that Omarosa lef fort only a second and when she came back to his bed, he had already floated off to heaven.

Michael grew up in Chicago and before he became an actor and was nominated for an Oscar for The Green Mile, he worked for the gas company and later as a bodyguard. He was also in Armageddon, The Whole Nine YardsSin City and D.E.B.S. Yes, I just brought up D.E.B.S.
Omarosa released this statement about his passing:

"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."

Rest in peace, MCD.

The difference between giving up and letting go is that giving up is to sacrifice something belongs to you while letting go is to drop those never belong to you.

Good to see fellow Chicagoans in the house giving MCD the respect. Way Too Young! RIP good man.

Why do the good ones die and leave us with the mediocre and stupid and sociopathic? Why?

There's no fucking answer, y'all.

I'm so sorry for Omarosa. Yeah, she's a bitch, but that was her man. He was young. Sorry for his family as well, he seemed like a decent man. RIP.

He did come across as a gentle giant, similar to his role in The Green Line. Also, he's one of the few who didn't lose his head over the whole Hollywood fame thing. RIP Michael.

My mom's father waited until she could make it down to Brazil to see him. As soon as she left the hospital, he passed. It's amazing how even in death, our loved ones are looking out for us.

RIP big guy. "Come and get Papa Bear" is my favorite line from Armageddon.

Referring to oneself in the third person annoys ImpertinentVixen. Sorry dude, you were wonderful in the Green Mile.

Very sad, best wishes for his family.

Def made me shed some tears yesterday! But he's in the most FAB place. On the Biography channel, check out: I Survived...Beyond and Back

Overwhelming is an understatement. I'll always remember the motorcycle guy who died and came back. NOT happy about coming back. When he hears of anyone dying, he now says, "Luck bastard!!!"

MCD and my Auntie Tess will be BFFs.

Poor MCD. I'd like to think that in his last moments he released a burst of energy and that somewhere, Doug Hutchison just p!ssed himself.
-------------------------------------------------
bwahahahahaha, that was priceless!!!!!!

I like to think he is in a better place, that he was done here and moved on. He seemed so nice. I don't understand the omarosa situation. Maybe he brought out the best in her? Why did she say Manigault? I don't understand that. Is she referring to herself? In the third person? Either way, RIP Big guy. :( you will be missed.

Submitted by Twat Muffin: " it always killed me that my mom died alone in the hospital, but like you said, maybe she chose to do it that way, thinking it would upset me. "

I've heard many stories like that. MIL's mother had a constant vigil of family with her. The ONE time she was alone for two minutes is when she passed. And my friend's gramma waited for her favorite son to leave. They think she wanted to spare him the sadness.

It makes sense to me. Lots of animals wander away from their groups to die alone. Like dogs who crawl under the porch, or cats who wander off to the woods to do. If I could do that, I would. Don't want anyone watching me die!

What the fuck? Why MCD? Why Hitchens, MCA, et al? But not Lohan or that Vehicular Homicide perp to be Amanda Bines? This guy was a total sweetheart. My ex & I met him at the premiere party for Mission Impossible 2 in the summer of 2000 and he was the nicest, most down to earth person you'd ever want to meet. RIP Michael Clarke Duncan, you shall be missed

Hey, think it's possible that God's 'rapturing' people up there one at a time, so's thems that aren't going won't notice until we look around and realize we're surrounded by nothing but the Lohans, the Kardassholes (stolen from earlier poster) and a bunch of other hos?

This really gave me the sads today. So young.... so talented and he seemed so full of hope before his heart attack. May he rest in peace.

Hey, screw you guys! DEBS was good. RIP MCD

RIP, MCD. You were a talented actor and I've heard nothing bad about you as a person. You left this world too young.

As for why he dies and Blohan is still clinging to us like a herpes scab…. I'll just assume that God wants the good ones with him, and keeps the bad ones at bay.

How sad. Perhaps he's in a place where there is no more pain or suffering but it doesn't make it any better for those he left behind. I hope they all find peace.

He was so likable and even in the silliest movies he managed to leave a good impression on audiences. He simply had that star quality. I kept rooting for another of his performances to catch the eye of critics and awards organizations.

Farewell MCD.

Very sad. RIP.

I am truly saddened by his passing. Michael just really touched me by his acting and his personal life. He seemed like such a down to earth real person who love touched many. Be at peace and nameste.

Actually...for those commenting about her statement, MK chopped a couple of things when he posted. He's on holiday and most likely drunk, lol.

Here's the statement from TMZ:

The rep tells us, "[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."

BernardProfitendieu's picture

she refers to herself as Manigault now? in the third person? the saddest part of this is that it gives that attention-starved nobody a reason to be issuing press releases and basking in the limelight again (even a funeral is limelight to a narcissist)

she probably stepped away from the room and let him die alone 'cause she had to call her publicist

ETA: OT -- put this in another thread, but all of the different movies being mentioned across 3 threads discussing MCD made me realize how prolific his career was. per imdb, 94 movies (1 in preproduction) from 1995-2012

I have major misery right now. I had the good fortune to meet this man once and he was just SO freakin' nice. Not the typical stuck-up actor type. And his laugh could be heard on the moon!

I just have no words. This is so so so sad. This beautiful, gentle, man is gone and yet all of the Kardashians are still pissing on our eyeballs every day.

Life is really just not fair sometimes. :( :(

Omarosa has an interesting bio. Her given name is Omaroseonee. Her dad was Nigerian but was murdered when she was 7. (Her brother also was shot to death last year.) Stallworth was her married name in the '00s. She's an ordained minister and working on her doctorate in divinity.

She met MCD in Whole Foods in 2010. Probably in the $10 applesauce aisle.
