He was best known for his role as John Coffey, a hulking death row inmate with the gift of healing, in The Green Mile. He suffered a heart attack in July, and passed away today at age 54.

I can't believe it! I thought that surely he must be getting better, after being hospitalized. I wonder what exactly went wrong.
Green Mile ranks way up there on my favorite movie list. And Michael was SO good in it...he really should have won the Oscar for it.
54 is far too young.

I was very surprised to see he was engaged to Omarosa from The Apprentice.
My heart goes out to his family 54 is far to young to pass away.

A private funeral for the late actor Michael Clarke Duncan will be held Monday, a day after friends and fans gathered for a public memorial.
A large crowd turned out Sunday for a public viewing of Duncan's casket at the Hall of Liberty in Forest Lawn Park in Los Angeles.
There was also a viewing on a screen of "The Green Mile," the film that made Duncan a star.
"He was an incredible actor, an incredible talent, but at the same time he was just an incredible human being," said friend Bobby Hernandez. "He's somebody that has probably the biggest heart I've ever met and probably the most genuine person I've ever met."
Duncan died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Sept. 3 after nearly two months of treatment following a heart attack. He was 54.
Duncan was hospitalized after suffering a myocardial infarction on July 13.
He was moved from the intensive care unit nearly a month later in August but remained in the hospital.
Coroner's officials said there was nothing to suggest officials needed to review the case.
Officials noted that Duncan had had heart problems and was under medical care. In such cases, it is normal for the doctor to sign the death certificate without any review by the coroner.
In the days since Duncan's death, a growing memorial with flowers, candles, notes and cards has appeared outside his Woodland Hills home.
Friends say that the man with a big smile and an even bigger heart was unaffected by his success, and never let fame go to his head.
"He was always willing to help the next person. He was just that kind of guy," friend Kiyano La'Vin said Sunday
"Albert, do you REALLY think you are old enough to know what love is?" "I must be Pa. I love you, I have for a long time."
