The death of actor John Amos has sparked allegations of elder abuse and potential foul play from family members who claim his son, Kelly Christopher 'K.C.' Amos, isolated him in his final days. Amos, who passed away on August 21, 2023, was cremated shortly after his death, and family members expressed concerns about the circumstances surrounding the handling of his death, including their lack of notification until weeks later. Shannon Amos, John’s daughter, revealed that she only learned of her father's death through media reports, and accused an individual of impersonating her in the hospital during his last hours. Family statements allege that K.C. controlled Amos's communications and that he may have misled the public about their relationship. The family fears that the quick cremation was an attempt to evade investigations into the actor's care and death, asserting that they were cut off from him during his illness. As investigations continue, the family maintains that they refuse to rule out foul play.
