Actor Michael Jai White revealed his oldest son died from coronavirus “just a few months ago” at age 38.
The “Black Dynamite” star shared on “VladTV” that he was distraught because they had “grown up together,” as he welcomed him when he was just 15 years old. White said his son, whom he didn’t name, lived in a “street element,” which he thinks played a role in his death.
White, 53, said that he tried to help his son, but “ultimately, it’s up to that person, especially if somebody’s a grown person.”
The “Spawn” actor explained that his son, who had a compromised immune system due to substance abuse, was in the hospital for a while before passing away, adding that “COVID was waiting for him.
he added, noting that his oldest son wasn’t vaccinated against the virus.
