LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Clarke Duncan's fiancee says the Oscar nominee for "The Green Mile" has died while being hospitalized following a July heart attack.

Publicist Joy Fehily released a statement from Clarke's fiancée, the Rev. Omarosa Manigault, saying the 54-year-old actor died Monday morning in a Los Angeles hospital after nearly two months of treatment following the July 13 heart attack.

The 6-foot-5, 300 pound Duncan appeared in dozens of films, including such box office hits as "Armageddon," ''Planet of the Apes" and "Kung Fu Panda,"

Duncan had a handful of minor roles before "The Green Mile" brought him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. The 1999 film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, starred Tom Hanks as a corrections officer at a penitentiary in the 1930s. Duncan played John Coffey, a convicted murderer.

Well looking elsewhere it appears he suffered Cardiac Arrest on Friday but was stable so not sure if he took a turn for the worse...

That's two important Sin City actors dead. And both characters appear in the new film.

Sound wave, it's not old. If you do a search, a bunch of news articles came up about 2-5 minutes ago.

I loved this guy as an actor. Sad to see him go, and at only 54? So young.

 

[ToastedFred]

Terrible news. I know it was his most popular role, but I loved his guest appearance in Two and a Half Men, and always think of this scene whenever I see him.
