It turns out that the death of Sean Levert may have been brought on through physical force:

“Sean Levert was physically restrained by jail guards right before he died. Staff at the Cuyahoga County Jail say that Levert was ‘out of control’ and ‘hallucinating,’ forcing them to place him in a restraining chair, because he was a danger to himself. The jail’s warden Kevin McDonough says Levert was cooperative and ‘went willingly’ when jail staff bound his wrists and shackled his feet.”

That sh*t sounds mad suspect. No doubt the Levert family will be combing through this situation with a fine tooth comb. Levert’s actual cause of death will be revealed soon:

“They are currently awaiting toxicology results — those will take four to six weeks to come back”

In addition, TMZ reports that his remains have yet to be claimed:

“According to the Coroner, the body remains a ‘guest’ at the Coroner’s office while Levert’s wife tries to decide whether to hold a private or public service.”

    So sorry to hear of the left of this dude. He is a nice gentleman. Just now, I’ve seen many topics for him at the celeb club wealtchychats com, he is really welcome to us during his life time.

  • David

    Oh well. If he would have paid his child support, he wouldn’t have gone to jail and subsequently flipped out needing to be restrained. He was probably experiencing withdrawal from drugs.

  • Lady Architect

    I hope they get to the bottom of this. It does sound kinda suspect that he suddenly died after being in restraints.

  • AmericanICON

    They really need to crack down on these prison’s killing our loved ones! It happends everyday!!!

  • Christian

    Here’s my question, if he had to be restrained and was “out of control” as well as “hallucinating”,how in the hell did he go willingly?

    Am I the only one that doesn’t get that?

  • Cage

    @ Christian : Yo i was thinkin the same thing.. I’ve seen people gettin put in “the chair”… No one goes willingly to that. The chair is made for the un-willing. Jake coverin their asses…

  • da darkness

    oh! keep up the good work ma. and eff’em good the next down time. ya heard lol

  • Sam

    It sounds more like he was going through some kind of withdrawal. Why would be hallucinating and need restraints? Before you can assume the restraints has something to do with his death you have to find out what was going on with him to need restraining. He was on drug and they were coming out of his body.

  • I’m Just Me

    THIS IS A DAXN SHAME. HE MAY HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWL BUT I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE THAT NO ONE WILLING GOES INTO SHACKLES AND A RESTRAINING JACKET TO THE “CHAIR” WILLINGLY.

    I HOPE THE LEVERTS DO GO OVER THIS WITH A FINE TOOTH COMB. I MEAN DAXN HE JUST GOT THERE! THIS IS SOME BULLSHYT.

    RIP SEAN AND GERALD!!

  • Roni

    HE SHOULD HAVE PAID HIS F*CKIN’ CHILD SUPPORT!!!!

  • Just Another Day Bloggin at Work

    Worked in a prison many years and sh*t do happen but in this case from the time he was brought in the jail, no matter what they had to do with him (because he was a high profile person) I see them doing it in compliance hopefully there was is a tape of what took place while this was happening.This sounds more like his body couldnt go anymore and the panic attack was too much. bet his autopsy come back with some enlarged heart sh*t, hardened arteries, traces of ..

  • intenzemocha

    It’s a sad and unfortunate situation all the way around

    we all know when you are of color that you have to dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s to avoid any interaction with the police that could possibly escalate to them using physical force.

    paying his child support, could have help to prevent this-I’m certain that he received warnings that this would happen if he didn’t meet his financial obligation. I’m not justifying what happened to him, but it’s no secret that the police will use any infraction on our part as an excuse to commence to whoopin our a$$

    I go above and beyond to be a law-abiding citizen-insurance correct, license correct, etc because if and when the time comes that something happens to me, I’ll have a clean record.

    Sounds like the law beat another brother to death. You know, I have to say this. So much of the time you see brothers devoting all of their energies into putting Black women down and holding other women up. It’s seems like having the ability to date and marry white women is the only achievment of the Civil Rights struggle that they are grateful for. That’t cool if that’s your thing, I’ve enjoyed the swirl a few times myself. But they have ignored a lot of issues that continue to plague and threaten their own lives. The police beat and kill as many black folks today as they did a hundred years ago. I believe if Black men would stand up for themselves and demand true and lasting protection and equality instead of constantly blaming and putting black women down, they would not only experience true freedom, but they would really learn that manhood is not about how many different kinds of ladies you can lay up with, but about how well you value, protect, and promote yourselves and your own.

  • sugarjude

    My heart really goes out to the Levert family. Blessed with musical talent but cursed with the death of two sons in a year…. Damn!

  • Anywhoo

    It’s seems like having the ability to date and marry white women is the only achievment of the Civil Rights struggle that they are grateful for.

    Profound CC!! A day of reckoning is coming soon for black men. They allow themselves to be used by the ruling class in this country for evil. Barack Obama is challenging black men to be men on many different levels. But bakc to child support.

    Many people are assuming he didn’t pay child support — we just don’t know. If the person paying child support has a change in income, the case goes back into court to change the amount to be paid in child support. Hopefully, the lawyer and the courts have done the paperwork so that the police don’t get the warrants to pick the person up. Child support is a court order. If it is before the courts, there is a period where the support may be held up. Yes, there are many men who don’t pay child support and I ain’t hardly defending them. But don’t jump to conclusions, there are many screw ups with the courts and municipalities. Also, some men will pay “off the books” and don’t understand that all monies must go through the court! This is a tragic situation. My heart goes out to the family.
