LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Michael Clarke Duncan's fiancee says the Oscar nominee for "The Green Mile" has died while being hospitalized following a July heart attack.

Publicist Joy Fehily released a statement from Clarke's fianc?e, the Rev. Omarosa Manigault, saying the 54-year-old actor died Monday morning in a Los Angeles hospital after nearly two months of treatment following the July 13 heart attack.

The 6-foot-5, 300 pound Duncan appeared in dozens of films, including such box office hits as "Armageddon," ''Planet of the Apes" and "Kung Fu Panda,"

Duncan had a handful of minor roles before "The Green Mile" brought him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. The 1999 film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, starred Tom Hanks as a corrections officer at a penitentiary in the 1930s. Duncan played John Coffey, a convicted murderer.

I guess he really did walk the green mile!

Someone needs to "take it back" from him, and give it to some bad men.

i wonder if his weight contributed to the heart attack? because before that i never heard he had health issues? i mean he was big but more muscular. anyways im really saddened by this, green mile was a classic.

[Setnom]

He walked the green mile way too soon.

You will be missed, Michael. RIP.

I didn't connect the name to the face until I read the article but this is very sad to hear. It was only the other night that I re-watched The Green Mile and it brought me to tears.

How horrible, I really liked the dude, will never forget his fantastic acting in "The Green Mile"! He will be remembered by many I am sure!

I see that Sylvester Stallone's son also died of an heart attack, saw this when I went to look Yahoo News page for Michael Duncan obituary. Sly is taking the death of his son pretty hard apparently.

RIP good sir. One of the truly decent and kind Humans in Hollywood imo. Saw him on talk shows (especially Craig Furgesion's) and he was just so nice and gentle and kind all the time. He was a huge guy, but wasn't imposing or anything. Loved him in The Green Mile of course, and even though Armageddon wasn't particularly terrific or anything, he was fun in that as well.

Sad day for Hollywood. I hope his family is ok.

R.I.P. A good one that will be missed.
