SEAN LEVERT DIES

Legendary soul/funk singer EDDIE LEVERT is mourning the loss of his son SEAN, who died after collapsing in a Cleveland, Ohio jail on Sunday (30Mar08). Sean, who was a member of 1980s group LeVert, was being held at the Cuyahoga County Jail after reportedly failing to pay $80,000 (GBP40,000) in child support. It is believed he collapsed in his cell late on Sunday night and was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to TMZ.com. The Cuyahoga County Coroner is currently looking into the cause of death. The warden of the jail claims prison officials were unaware of any health condition he may have had. The tragedy is the latest to hit the Levert family - Sean Levert's older brother, the R+B star Gerald Levert, died in November 2006, aged 40, following an accidental perscription drug overdose.

Judge not, and you shall not be judged; Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Luke 6:37. Let those of us without sin, cast the first stone. What is the matter with people when someone dies and instead of showing sympathy and compassion, they make rude and heartless comments??? That's what's wrong with our world, no one cares unless it affects them. My prayers and love go out to the Levert family. Breaks my heart, both Gerald and Sean, gone too soon. Also, I'd like to correct/clarify something written in the article -- Gerald Levert died of an accidental overdose of "prescription and over the counter medication", not any illicit drugs. The article said drug overdose, and that can be taken the wrong way, so I wanted to make that very clear. My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Levert family.

It may have been well known thanks to the media about Sean Levert's personal life, or whatever; what's matter is that people should respect the Levert family's wishes to give them privacy while they mourn their loss. This is not a easy process right nowconsidering the fact that they are still coping with the loss of Gerald. Only God can judge. My continued love, thoughts, and prayers are with the Levert family each and every day. With much luv...
