Michael K. Williams Found Dead In Brooklyn Apartment by Darkmode64: 12:49am On Sep 07, 2021 |
An actor best known for his work on "The Wire" was found dead in his penthouse apartment in Brooklyn on Monday. Police say the 54-year-old Michael K. Williams, who played the character Omar Little, was discovered by a family member. Drug paraphernalia was found at the scene, authorities say. The NYPD says his death was being investigated as a possible drug overdose. Outpouring condolences "It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the passing of Emmy nominated actor Michael Kenneth Williams," his publicist said. "They ask for your privacy while grieving this unsurmountable loss." Williams appeared in all five seasons of "The Wire" from 2002 to 2008, his character growing in prominence with each season. As Little, he played a criminal with a strict moral code, known for taking advantage of a reputation for brutality that wasn't always real. The character also broke TV ground as an openly gay man whose sexuality wasn't central to his role. Williams was raised in East Flatbush at Vanderveer Estates NYCHA housing. He was the co-founder and an advocate of "We Build the Block." The Brooklyn-born Williams was also a ubiquitous character actor in other shows and films for more than two decades, including roles on the HBO series "Boardwalk Empire" and "Lovecraft Country," and in the films "12 Years a Slave" and "Assassin's Creed."

![]() So this dumb policeman who forgot a used condom on the bed after fvcking R.Kelly's wife, was dumb enough to allow drugs kill him? It's still this same dumbness that made him not know that his wife Bridget was cheating on him with a midget. Tufiakwa. This is a very shameful death. Walahi, instead of drugs to kill me, let it make me run mad. 14 Likes 1 Share |

RIP sir. People shouting I need my privacy, my family visit too often, my friends are invading my space,you don't understand what you have until you lose it. Like it or not we need good people around us,who we can share our worries and joy. Just look at how this guys death occurred. If people we're around the case would have been different. My friend staying in Germany told me how lonely life can be over there. He told me no one care's not even your family members. He almost died of depression but no one care. That is why they have numerous pets. Even fish is a pet. We need good people around us. 1 Like |
