The Green Mile actor Michael Clarke Duncan has died aged 54 after suffering a heart attack.
The Oscar-nominated star has died after nearly two months of treatment following a heart attack on July 13.
Duncan's fiancée, Apprentice star Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, was with him in the hospital but left the room for a short amount of time when he sadly passed away.
'[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,' Duncan's representative said.
Thousands of tributes have poured in for the much loved actor, including a heart felt message from his Green Mile co-star Tom Hanks who said: 'I am terribly saddened at the loss of Big Mike.
'He was the treasure we all discovered on the set of The Green Mile. He was magic. He was a big love of man and his passing leaves us stunned.'
