Sean Levert, son of O'Jays singer Eddie Levert and brother of the late Gerald Levert, passed away on Sunday after being taken from the Cuyahoga County Jail in Cleveland to the Lutheran Hospital. He was 39. A cause of death is not known at this time. An autopsy will be performed.
Levert was incarcerated last week on a one year and ten month sentence for failing to pay $85,000 in child support. He was taken from the jail at 11 P.M. Sunday and was declared dead at the hospital within the hour.
Reports from the jail say that he had been sick and was under watch with high blood pressure and hallucinations; however, there was nothing to indicate that it was an emergency situation. Toxicology reports could take four to six weeks.
Sean was a member of the group Levert who had number on R&B hits with songs like Casanova and Addicted to You. Brother and group member Gerald Lavert passed away on November 10, 2006 at the age of 40 from an accidental mix of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
