The singing Levert family of Cleveland has lost another son and brother. Sean Levert has died.
Levert, 39, the son of R&B legend Eddie Levert and brother of Gerald Levert, who passed away in 2006, collapsed at the Cuyahoga County Jail late last night and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
The warden of the jail told TMZ.com that he died at the hospital, not the jail, which disputes other reports.
A nursing supervisor at Lutheran Hospital confirmed to Cleveland’s Fox 8 News that Levert, a Cleveland native, died of natural causes just before midnight.
A hospital spokesperson said that Sean Levert’s body was immediately taken to the coroner. Cuyahoga County Coroner’s Office spokesman Powell Caesar confirms that Sean Levert’s body had been received.
Levert had reportedly been in the Cuyahoga County Jail serving time for failing to pay roughly $80,000 in child support.
Sean, along with Gerald and Marc Gordon was a member of the 80s group Levert. They hit it big with “Casanova.”
