FBI Asked To Look Into Sean LeVert’s Death


Today's entertainment gossip is that the Levert family has the FBI to look into the death of Sean Levert who died March 30th after being taken to the hospital from the Cuyahoga County jail where he was serving a one year and 10 months sentence for failure to pay $89,025 in child support.

As I told you earlier this week Sean Levert is the brother of popular R&B singer Gerald LeVert, and the son of O’Jays singer Eddie LeVert. Sean and brother Gerald were part of the R&B group LeVert before Gerald decided to go solo.

Warden Kevin McDonough said that Sean Levert was pounding on his cell door so guards strapped him in a restraint chair. Sean's breathing became shallow and he was taken to Lutheran Hospital, where he died less than an hour later. Sean’s cousin, Michael Gibson, said Sean never had any outburst such as the type described.

However an autopsy did not determine the cause of death. Toxicology tests are expected to take weeks. The FBI says agents will meet with Levert's family.

I will be keeping an eye on this story.


That's your entertainment gossip for now.
