*John Amos’ death certificate reveals the actor passed away from congestive heart failure on August 21 at Centinela Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood, CA.  

According to Vibe, Amos’ death was confirmed to be from natural causes, though an autopsy was not performed. He was cremated on August 30, but on October 2, his daughter, Shannon, revealed she learned of his death on social media. She is now refusing to rule out the possibility of foul play.

“Someone was in the ER the night my father died and pretended to be his daughter,” Shannon wrote in her Instagram stories. “I’m his only daughter. We believe it was Belinda Foster, the woman also posing as his publicist. He died alone without family […] Something is very wrong with this.”

A full statement from “the collective family and close friends of John Amos” was also released, where they revealed that they learned of the actors’s death at the same time as the general public. They’re accusing Amos’ son, Kelly Christopher “K.C.” Amos of isolating the “Good Times” star and evading an investigation into his death. K.C. is reportedly the person who informed Los Angeles County about his father’s passing.

“This tragic news has left us in shock and heartache,” the statement read. “We know he was suffering from congestive heart failure and dementia. We fear he was likely cremated to avoid any potential investigation into the conditions surrounding his final days.”

The statement continued, “Despite our repeated attempts to maintain contact, KC prevented access to him, controlled and monitored his calls and severed ties with [the aforementioned parties and more]. KC portrayed an image of a close father-son relationship on social media, but the reality was far more complex.”

The family wants to know why they weren’t notified of Amos’ death by the authorities or medical professionals. 

“We believe there are critical questions that need answers, especially since we believe KC likely made the decision to have John Amos cremated without the family’s knowledge. We suspect these actions may have been taken to alter potential wills and collect life insurance or other benefits. This is made even more concerning by KC’s struggles with addiction and mental health issues, as well as his previous arrests,” the family collective said.
