Michael Jai White revealed in a recent interview that he lost his oldest son to Covidien-19 just a few months ago. He was 38 years old at the time of death. While talking about his son’s passing, the actor, director, and martial artist mentioned his other sons.
The devastated father spoke of his deceased son’s struggles with substances and how they influenced his death.
What happened to Michael’s first child?
Michael had his first child when he was only 15 years old. The actor refrained from taking his name and not much is known about the identity of his late son.
However, the star of Al Simmons shared that he was puzzled upon learning of his son’s death, as they “had grown up together.” She also revealed that her son was dependent on substances.
“Unfortunately, he was still in the streets in a hurry, he was not doing well, he started using substances. He had come out, he would come back in, all these kinds of things, “he shared.
Michael’s eldest son was reportedly not vaccinated against the coronavirus and his immune system was “compromised” due to substance abuse, which the actor called the “knockout blow.” He left his six children behind.
