The late actor John Amos' family and close associates have raised serious allegations against his son, Kelly Christopher Amos, accusing him of isolating and controlling the actor before his death.
The family has not ruled out the possibility of foul play, casting a shadow of suspicion over the circumstances surrounding the actor's demise.
According to the Daily Caller, the family released a statement expressing their concerns. "Over the past year, John Amos was isolated from his family and close friends by Kelly 'KC' Amos, Eugene Brummet, and Belinda Foster," the statement read. The family claimed they were kept in the dark about Amos' death and only discovered the news several weeks after his cremation.
The family's statement further detailed their attempts to maintain contact with the actor, which were allegedly thwarted by his son. "Despite our repeated attempts to maintain contact, KC prevented access to him, controlled and monitored his calls and severed ties with Johns daughter Shannon Amos, his brother Leslie Syl Franklin, his grandchildren Quiera Colston and Jhazz Williams, his business manager Paul Baldessare, his god-daughter Amy Goudy, his niece Sherri Korsun, his former accountant and other close family members, friends, and loved ones," the statement read.
The family also accused Kelly Christopher Amos of manipulating the public image of his relationship with his father. They stated, "KC portrayed an image of a close father-son relationship on social media, but the reality was far more complex."
John Amos, renowned for his role in "Good Times," was reportedly suffering from dementia. His family alleges that his son exploited this condition, giving him verbal prompts to create a false narrative on social media. "We were deeply concerned that our father may have been neglected and isolated during his final days as we received photos from concerned neighbors and a medical professional," the family disclosed.
John Amos passed away in August, but his family was not informed until media reports surfaced in September. The death certificate identifies Kelly Christopher Amos as the person who reported the actor's death. Amos was cremated nine days after his death, and his ashes are currently in his son's possession.
The family is now seeking answers from medical professionals, the coroner, and authorities for their failure to notify them of Amos' death. "We believe there are critical questions that need answers, especially since we believe KC likely made the decision to have John Amos cremated without the familys knowledge," the statement read.
The family also expressed their suspicion that these actions might have been taken to alter potential wills and collect life insurance or other benefits. "This is made even more concerning by KCs struggles with addiction and mental health issues, as well as his previous arrests," they added.
As the family grapples with the loss of their beloved actor, they are left with more questions than answers. The allegations against Kelly Christopher Amos paint a picture of a family torn apart by deceit and manipulation. The quest for truth continues, as the family seeks justice for their late patriarch.
