We recently brought you the news that beloved “Coming To America” and “Good Times” star John Amos was hospitalized in a troubling situation in Memphis. And while the hospital shot down accusations Amos was mistreated in their care, an investigation has been launched.
“We can confirm that an allegation was made to the Custer County Sheriff’s Office that Mr. Amos could be a victim of a crime,” said the hospital in a release. “We are thoroughly investigating that allegation and have consulted with our partners at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Department of Human Services. We have also been in contact with Mr. Amos and his attorney.”
“The past two weeks shattered our world,” wrote 83-year-old Amos’ daughter, Shannon, on Instagram. “My dad, a victim of elder abuse and financial exploitation. We are collaborating with the Colorado Bureau of Investigations and local authorities, determined to bring the perpetrators to justice.” While no details have yet been released as of this writing, Shannon claims “legal assistance is crucial to ensure their prosecution.” Whatever it is, it sounds like John Amos had a rough time.
