Michael Clarke Duncan, best known for his Oscar-nominated role as a death row inmate in the 1999 film "The Green Mile," has died on Monday after nearly two months of treatment following a heart attack in July.
The 54-year-old actor had been in a Los Angeles hospital since July 13. According to his fiancee, Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, Duncan suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered.
At 6-feet, 5-inches tall and approximately 300 pounds, Duncan was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for his role as gentle giant prisoner John Coffey in "The Green Mile." He appeared in dozens of films, including Armageddon, Planet of the Apes, and Kung Fu Panda.
