"Michael Clarke Duncan&amp;#039;s grave site has reportedly been vandalised. A family spokesperson told TMZ that a cartoonish &amp;#039;black face&amp;#039; figurine known as a &amp;#039;Sambo&amp;#039; had been left in front of Clarke Duncan&amp;#039;s tombstone at Forest Lawn in Hollywood.  The &amp;#039;Sambo&amp;#039; caricature has long been a symbol of racism in its offensive representation of stereotypical smiling faces. Officials at Forest Lawn apparently removed the figurine after being notified by the Clarke Duncan family. Los Angeles police have also been contacted and are currently investigating the matter as a possible hate crime. The family&amp;#039;s representative has insisted that the matter will be pursued until the perpetrator is found. Clarke Duncan passed away in September 2012, a mere two months after he suffered a serious heart attack. An inquest later determined that the Green Mile star died from respiratory failure, a heart attack and other contributing factors.
