'MARTIN' STAR TOMMY FORD ON LIFE SUPPORT

Tommy Ford -- who famously played Tommy on the '90s sitcom "Martin" -- is on life support at an Atlanta hospital after an aneurysm ruptured in his abdomen ... his wife tells TMZ.

Ford has been hospitalized since Sunday and his health has declined ever since.

He is currently on life support and is not expected to make it through the day.

Earlier, Ford's friend, Anthony Anderson, tweeted that Ford had died -- but at the time, he was still alive.

Ford's wife, Gina, says the family is still praying for him.
