According to the myfoxcleveland.com, it was $60,000 in back child support, no $80,000. Here is their story:

Report: Sean Levert Dies in Jail
Last Edited: Monday, 31 Mar 2008, 8:20 AM EDT


CLEVELAND -- A nursing supervisor at Lutheran Hospital confirms to Fox 8 News that musician Sean Levert, a Cleveland native, died of natural causes just before midnight.

Sean Levert, 39, is the son of legendary O'Jays lead singer Eddie Levert and the brother of late R&B superstar Gerald Levert. Sean, Gerald and Marc Gordon made up the music group Levert, which hit it big in the late 1980s with its popular song "Casanova."

Sean Levert had also appeared in movies, including 1991's "New Jack City."

The hospital spokesperson with whom Fox 8 News spoke said that Sean Levert's body was immediately taken to the coroner. Cuyahoga County Coroner's Office spokesman Powell Caesar confirms that Sean Levert's body had been received.

A story in the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Sean Levert was found dead in a Cleveland jail over the weekend. The story says that he was being held in prison for "allegedly failing to pay about $80,000 in child support."

Caesar would only confirm that Sean Levert had been in the Cuyahoga County Jail.
