Shannon Amos who is the daughter of Hollywood actor John Amos said she was shocked to know her father died 45 days ago, but his death was only announced on October 1 by his son K.C.
Miss Amos said she knew about the death of her father when it was announced in the news, whereas he died of natural causes at 84 on August 21, 2024.
“We are devastated and left with many questions about how this happened 45 days ago, learning about it through the media like so many of you,” Shannon Amos wrote in a caption to a post on her official Instagram account.
“This should be a time of honoring and celebrating his life, yet we are struggling to navigate the wave of emotions and uncertainties surrounding his passing. Still, there is some semblance of peace in knowing my father is finally free.”
According to the Hollywood Reporter reports in November 2023, there was an acrimonious battle between Amos’ children as they fought each other over their father’s care and his legacy, with Shannon Amos publicly accusing her brother K.C. of elder abuse, a claim he denied.
Miss Amos an entertainment executive turned medicinal healer, claimed their father was abused KC and he took over their father’s affairs alienating her his family members.
“This has not only affected me but his grandchildren, his nieces, people he’s worked with and friends he’s had for decades,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
Shannon Amos contended that her brother had impersonated their father in communications, disregarded his medical needs, mishandled his finances, and exploited and eroded his legacy — all of which her brother rejected.
