REDD FOXX – HEART ATTACK

John Elroy Sanford, who went by the screen name Redd Foxx, gave fans a lot of happy memories through his comedic performances, particularly in the TV show Sanford and Son. He reached a great degree of popularity in the 1950s and 1960s when he performed for musicals at nightclubs. In 2004, the Hollywood personality ranked 24th in Comedy Central Presents: 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time. He is not only an excellent comedian that influenced many people.

Foxx also played in popular culture acts because of his body language, catchphrases, and facial expression that impressed audiences. Unfortunately, Foxx suffered a heart attack while filming the show The Royal Family. His life ended in the hospital just a couple of hours after the incident. At the time, Foxx was 68 years old. It is presumed that given his professional career, Foxx was able to afford life insurance coverage for his family, so even though he is long gone, nobody would have to suffer from financial problems on top of the emotional burden.
