The TMZ news portal reported that the Bahamian Foreign Minister’s office confirmed the death of the African-American artist who won an Oscar for his performance in Hollywood.
At the moment the cause of the death of Sidney Poitier is unknown, as well as the place where he ceased to exist.
Among Poitier’s most representative roles are Mark Thackeray in “To Sir With Love” (1967) and detective Virgil Tibbs in “In the Heat of the Night” (1967), as well as starring in “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” (1967).
