The actor John Amos passed away at the age of 84 from natural causes on August 21, but his daughter, Shannon Amos, learned of his death 45 days later.
The daughter of actor John Amos, Shannon, learned of her father’s death 45 days after the event through a statement given by her brother to Deadline on Tuesday (1). John Amos passed away from natural causes on August 21 at the age of 84.
“We are devastated and have many questions about how this happened 45 days ago, finding out through the press like so many of you,” Shannon said on her social media.
“It is with deep sadness that I share with you that my father has passed away,” said Shannon’s brother Kelly Christopher “K.C.”.
Shannon had some friction in her relationship with her father. In 2023, she claimed that Amos suffered elder abuse from a caregiver, and a month later, she was accused by her own father of elder abuse.
In an interview with People magazine in December 2023, John Amos stated that despite the conflicts, they were still a family. “We just have, I think, what would best be described in the tabloids as a contentious relationship, but everything heals with time, and the love is still there,” the actor said.
