Sean Levert: Died in Jail

March 31, 2008

Sean Levert, 39, was found dead over the weekend while in jail in Cleveland, Ohio. Levert, who is the son of Eddie Levert of the O’Jays and brother of R&B singer Gerald Levert, was jailed recently because of not paying $85,000 in child support and was sentence to one year and 10 months behind bars.

Levert was under close watch because of high blood pressure and hallucinations and guards had noticed strange behavior. The toxicology report will be back in four to six weeks with more information on the sudden death.

Sadly, this is the second death in two years for Eddie Levert since his son Gerald died in 2006 of an accidental mix of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
