He suffered some sort of illness issue and died. The worst part about it is, they say he was in jail over not paying child support. I know black men may be thinking the worst about this woman but the truth is, he shouldn't have had a child he couldn't support.

Sometimes I wish they would tell us more in the articles, so that we wouldnt have to speculate so much...

You would think with the Ojays and Levert, that big bucks were made.Got me thinking...what did they do with all the loot. Even so and regardless another talent has been lost.

To answer your question:

"Levert had reportedly been in the Cuyahoga County Jail serving time for failing to pay roughly $80,000 in child support."

No that it matters because no parent should have to bury two of their children.

Sean Levert's being behind on child support was a private matter between him and child's mother and shouldn't even come up in the discussion of his untimely death.

I agree with you, his private life should not be aired in public however, where the incident took place is important. Most people have an amount of curiousity that makes them question the deceases last involvemnt before passing. We knew Gerald passed at home in his sleep. We knew Bailey Rae husband passed in a hotel room. Kenya's mom had complications and passed at home as well. The list goes on and on...The information surrounding Sean passing is no different...Just unfortunate...

my prayers go out to the Levert family and their extended family. these are trying times for everyone, esp. when things like this happen....but it can happen to any of us at any time.....and sometimes the answer to the "why" is not enough. we know WHO has the real answers.
