As has been making its rounds on the net, legendary comic/actor Bill Cosby and his family are in mourning after the untimely death of his daughter, Ensa Cosby.

Ensa, who died of renal disease last Friday (Feb. 23), was only 44 years old.  The family took to press recently to issue a statement regarding the matter.  Read it inside:

“The Cosby family thanks many people for their prayers for their beloved and beautiful Ensa, who recently died from renal disease,” Bill’s spokesperson Andrew Wyatt said in a statement to Us Weekly on Monday, February 26 [source].

Fans of the comedian know Ensa is his second child to suffer an untimely death.  His son Ennis was only 27 when he was murdered in the late 90s during a failed robbery attempt.  Ensa is survived by her parents, Bill and Camille Cosby, and siblings Erika (52), Erinn (51), and Evin (41).
