Oscar nominee Michael Clarke Duncan died yesterday morning at the age of 54. The actor suffered a heart attack earlier this summer (July 13th), and had been in the hospital ever since.

Duncan was nominated for an Oscar for his role in “The Green Mile” with Tom Hanks. He also starred in “Armageddon”, “The Whole Nine Yards”, “Daredevil”, “Sin City”, and “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”.

His girlfriend was Omarosa from “The Apprentice”. A rep said, “Omarosa 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.”
