Deandre McCullough has passed away. His life inspired both the book and series The Corner. He also had a small recurring role in The Wire as Lamar, Brother Mouzone's bodyguard/helper.

Nice write-up from David Simon here: http://davidsimon.com/deandre-mccullough-1977-2012/

RIP

Excellent conversation with the real people behind the characters from the Corner with Deandre as well.

Simon really seems to have tried to help him get by his addiction. It really is a horrible infliction.

Just watching The Corner at the moment, very sad to see that the inspiration for this excellent series has died. Drug addiction really is a horrible affliction.

RIP DeAndre McCullough.
