The same day it was announced that John Amos, who starred on the sitcom Good Times and the miniseries Roots in the 1970s, had died in August at the age of 83, a group of concerned relatives and friends released a lengthy statement challenging the circumstances surrounding his death.
“We refuse to rule out the possibility of foul play,” they said.
The statement was posted to Facebook early Tuesday evening, just hours after Belinda Foster, a woman identified as Amos’ publicist, confirmed his death. She supplied several outlets with a statement on behalf of Amos’ son, Kelly Christopher Amos, who called the veteran actor “a man with the kindest heart” and a “TV father” to many fans.
