'Martin' Star Tommy Ford On Life Support, Wife Says
Tommy Ford — who famously played Tommy on the ’90s sitcom Martin — is on life support at an Atlanta hospital after an aneurysm ruptured in his abdomen … his wife tells TMZ.
Ford has been hospitalized since Sunday and his health has declined ever since.
He is currently on life support and is not expected to make it through the day.
Earlier, Ford’s friend, Anthony Anderson, tweeted that Ford had died — but at the time, he was still alive.
Yes I was given misinformation about our friend. That’s why the tweet was removed. We are all still praying for Tommy. He needs us even more

Ford’s wife, Gina, says the family is still praying for him.
Tommy starred in all 5 seasons of Martin as the title character’s level-headed best friend, who often played a straight man to Martin’s crazy antics.
He also appeared on New York Undercover, The Jamie Foxx Show and The Parkers.
Ford also wrote children’s books that promoted drug-free and violence-free lifestyles.
