CLEVLAND -- Sean Levert, the younger brother of R&B singer Gerald Levert and son of Eddie Levert of the O'Jays, died late Sunday night.

Levert, 39, died at 11:57 p.m. at Lutheran Hospital after being transported to the facility from the Cuyahoga County Jail.

NewsChannel5 reported that it is not known exactly what type of medical emergency Sean Levert was having, however, Warden Kevin McDonough said he was having trouble adjusting to the jail environment. He had been kept on the mental health floor of the jail.

A county sheriff news release said on Sunday evening Levert was placed in restraints without resistance after displaying some bizarre behavior. He was on a 10-minute watch at that point and was found to be distressed about 20 minutes later.

Levert was serving time for not paying $85,000 in child support. He had spent five days in general population.

Levert was scheduled to begin serving two 11-month prison terms with an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correctional facility Tuesday.

The matter is under investigation.

Wanted To Sing Again

It was in November that Sean Levert started singing again.

He talked with NewsChannel5 about finishing a project -- bringing the R&B trio Levert back together -- that his brother started.

Gerald Levert died Nov. 10, 2006. He was found dead in his bed at his Newbury home.

"Sometimes I'll have my moments, but right now I think I'm in a happier stage thinking about the good times we had together," Sean Levert had said.

Gerald Levert started his career as the lead singer of the R&B trio Levert before pursuing a solo career.
