John Amos' Death Announcement Delayed Amid Family Feud

John Amos, the late actor known for 'Good Times,' passed away on August 21, but the announcement of his death was delayed until October 1 to prevent his daughter, Shannon Amos, from turning the situation into a 'circus.' Shannon publicly stated that she learned of her father's death through media reports, expressing confusion and heartbreak. The delay was reportedly at John Amos's request, due to ongoing family tensions, particularly a no-contact order between his son K.C. and Shannon stemming from allegations of elder abuse. K.C. announced the death, but family members have criticized him for not informing them sooner, raising suspicions about his treatment of their father in his final days. John's publicist refuted claims of abuse, asserting that K.C. and others cared for him and that law enforcement had confirmed his well-being on multiple occasions. The family drama continues to unfold as differing narratives emerge regarding John's final wishes and family dynamics.
