Bernie Mac’s widow sues doctor for wrongful death
Bernie Mac didn’t have to die.
That’s the contention of the comedian’s widow, Rhonda McCullough, who has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Chicago against one of his doctors.
Mac, who for years suffered from sarcoidosis, a chronic autoimmune disease, died on Aug. 9, 2008, at age 50, of heart failure during a bout of pneumonia.
McCullough says in her suit that Dr. Rene M. Earles, a dermatologist who regularly treated Mac for the skin lesions caused by his sarcoidosis, was negligent by failing to recognize signs of medical distress or get emergency attention when Mac came to his Chicago office on July 17, 2008, three weeks before his death.
