John Amos Family Speaks Out Following News That He Was Cremated Nine Days After His Passing Without Their Knowledge, “We Refuse To Rule Out The Possibility Of Foul Play”

John Amos family has issued a collective statement regarding the shocking news of his passing as further details began to surface!

As we previously reported John’s son KC Amos informed the Hollywood Reporter on October 1st that his father had passed away this summer on August 21st.

According to TMZ, the beloved actor’s body was cremated just nine days after his death. The news came as a shock to many but an even bigger surprise to his daughter Shannon as well as other family members since revealing they weren’t notified of the 84-year-old’s passing and found out with the rest of the world.

In a statement amongst John’s granddaughter Quiera Williams, son-in-law and wife Jasper and Nakia Willams, goddaughter Amy Goud, brother Leslie Franklin, best friend Willie Quinney, niece Sherri Korsun-Scott, and business manager Paul Baldessare; they’ve issued concerns regarding his passing and the alleged behavior of his son KC.

“It is with profound sadness and distress that we must share the circumstances surrounding our father’s passing. He was a loving man who brought light into the lives of many. However, our family only learned of his death today through media reports, only to discover he actually passed away 45 days ago.”

“Shockingly, we were not notified, nor were any family members informed. This tragic news has left us in shock and heartache. We do not have a death certificate, nor do we know where or why he died, but 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 continues, “over the past year, John Amos was isolated from his family and close friends by Kelly “KC” Amos, Eugene Brummet and Belinda Foster. Despite our repeated attempts to maintain contact, KC prevented access to him, controlled and monitored his calls.”

“Our father suffered from dementia, and KC often gave John verbal prompts to create a narrative on social media that was not reflective of the truth.”

“We were deeply concerned that our father may have been neglected and isolated during his final days as we recieved photos from concerned neighbors and a medical professional. One photo even prompted an Elder Abuse investigation to no avail. This situation mirrors Shannon and KC’s mother’s passing. KC also prevented family members from being present and making decisions together. Shannon fought to be by her mother’s side, and ensured she had agency over her final days”.

Shannon took to Instagram and TikTok with post in memory of the 84 year old to state, “We are devastated and left with many questions about how this happened 45 days ago, learning about it through the media like so many of you.”

She adds, “This should be a time of honoring and celebrating his life, yet we are struggling to navigate the wave of emotions and uncertainties surrounding his passing. Still, there is some semblance of peace in knowing my father is finally free.”
