Actor and producer Tommy Ford, perhaps best known for his roles on the long running 1990s sitcom "Martin" and early 2000s show "The Parkers," died in an Atlanta hospital on 12 October 2016:
Ford had spent several days on life support, his health rapidly declining, after an aneurysm ruptured in his abdomen. Ford's talent agency confirmed his death, and released a statement from his family on Twitter:
