Omarosa On Michael Clarke Duncan: He Was ‘The Love Of My Life’

Following the unfortunate death of her fiancé, Omarosa Manigault spoke out about her grief stating, “I am devastated.” Manigault performed CPR on Duncan in July at the time of the heart attack. Her heroic act saved his life; however, he never made a full recovery and remained hospitalized until his death.  ”He was the love of my life,” Manigault added. Duncan died at the age 54 on Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA.
