9:17 AM PT -- Ford's wife Gina Ford tells TMZ ... the actor is on life support and is not expected to make it through the day.
As for Anthony Anderson's post that Ford died earlier, it's not true -- and Anderson has since deleted the tweet
.
Tommy Ford -- who famously played Tommy on the '90s sitcom "Martin" -- has died following complications from a knee surgery ... his friend Anthony Anderson says.
"Thank you all for your prayers but we lost #TommyFord this morning. May GOD rest his soul and comfort his family," Anderson tweeted.
52-year-old Ford slipped into a state of unconsciousness Wednesday in an Atlanta hospital after going in for a post-op checkup from a recent knee replacement surgery.
He'd been rehabbing as of late ... according to his social media.
Tommy starred in all 5 seasons of "Martin" as the title character's level-headed best friend, who often played a straight man to Martin's crazy antics.
He also appeared on "New York Undercover," "The Jamie Foxx Show" and "The Parkers."
Ford also wrote children's books that promoted drug-free and violence-free lifestyles.
