The Oscar nominee was being treated in an LA hospital, according to his fianceé the Rev Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, The Sun reports.
Acting legend Tom Hanks, who was Duncan’s Green Mile co-star, released a heartfelt message, saying: “I am terribly saddened at the loss of Big Mike.
“He was the treasure we all discovered on the set of The Green Mile. He was magic.
“He was a big love of man and his passing leaves us stunned.”
The actor's death came “very suddenly”, with reports saying Omarosa had been present in the hospital room before momentarily leaving for a short period.
When she returned, Duncan had died.
Duncan appeared in dozens of films, including blockbusters Armageddon, Planet Of The Apes and Kung Fu Panda.
The 6ft 5in, 300lb actor had a handful of minor roles before The Green Mile brought him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 1999, which he lost to British legend Michael Caine for his performance in The Cider House Rules.
He was also nominated at the Golden Globes, MTV Movie Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards.
