Samuel Monroe Jr. has passed away at the age of 52. The ‘Menace II Society’ actor’s family announced the news of his passing on Facebook. “I want to thank all of my facebook family and friends new and old for praying for Samuel Monroe, Jr., my son,” the actor’s mom wrote on the platform. Monroe Jr. originally contracted a meningitis infection while working in Las Vegas. The infection became worse due to several hospitals misdiagnosing his condition, which led to the infection spreading to his brain and spine, leading to MRSA pneumonia and kidney issues. #SamuelMonroeJr
