In another tragic turn for the Levery Family, Sean Levert (brother of Gerald, son of Eddie) was found dead at just 39 years old in a Cleveland jail!

According to the Chicago-Sun Times, Sean was being held for allegedly failing to pay about $80,000 in child support.

Update:

According to MSNBC, an autopsy was done Monday but no immediate cause of death was determined, according to Powell Caesar, a spokesman for the Cuyahoga County’s coroner’s office, but he said there was no evidence of foul play or trauma.

Levert suffered from high blood pressure and had been hallucinating in jail, Caesar said. Toxicology reports could take four to six weeks, he said.

Warden Kevin McDonough said earlier that Levert had been sick and guards were watching him at the jail’s regular cellblock because he had been acting strangely. He died at Lutheran Hospital in Cleveland late Sunday, less than an hour after he was taken there from the jail, said coroner Frank Miller.

Sean Levert had pleaded guilty last week to six counts of nonsupport involving children ages 11, 15 and 17 and was sent to the Cuyahoga County jail last week.
