R&B Singer Sean Levert Dies While Serving Time In Prison

CLEVELAND (AP)- Sean Levert is dead. The R&B singer took ill
while serving a jail term. He was 39 years old.

Levert was sent to the Cuyahoga County jail in Ohio last week
for failing to pay child support. He took ill yesterday and was taken to Lutheran Hospital in Cleveland, where he died less than an hour after arriving.

An autopsy was done, but authorities say the results don't point to a cause of death. However, foul play has been ruled out.

Sean Levert was a member of the R&B trio LeVert and the son of
O'Jays lead singer Eddie Levert. His brother, Gerald, who left the
trio for a solo career, died in 2006. He died of an accidental mix
of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

I am so sorry for the family. It is the family we need to pray for, because they are the ones left behind to grieve for, and miss their love ones. Gerald and Sean are in better places than we are, because they have done what we all have to do one day. It's no getting around death. When it comes, we need to have our souls right with God. I pray Gerald and Sean's souls were right with God, and if they were, we don't have to worry about them, because they are well taken care of. God Bless The Famil
