In extremely sad and shocking news, Sean Levert, brother of the late Gerald Levert and son of O’Jays singer Eddie Levert, died at 11:57p last night after being taken from his jail cell. Last week, we reported that he was jailed due to excessive back payments in child support and was sentenced to 22 months. But yesterday, reports say Sean complained of being sick. And after being transported to Lutheran Hospital from Cuyahoga County Jail, he died. This is extremely sad news as his brother Gerald also died a shocking death not too long ago. Our condolences and prayers go out to the Levert family.
UPDATE: The Levert family has put out this official statement:
There are no words that can express what we are feeling today. There is no song that can capture the loss that we have in our hearts. But we are humbly overwhelmed by the generous outpouring of love, condolences and support from the many friends, fans and admirers of our son Sean. At this very difficult time, we thank you for your prayers and hope you will understand our need for privacy.
