After 4 years of battling with colon cancer, the actor Chadwick Boseman, famously know for his role as the “Black Panther”, died at 43.
Chadwick’s spokesman, Nicki Fioravante, said the actor died at his house in LA by his family. The family said –
“A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilsons Ma Raineys Black Bottom and several more – all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honour of his career to bring King TChalla to life in Black Panther.”
Chadwick didn’t speak about the disease in public and according to several sources, earlier this year he married his girlfriend ,the singer Taylor Simone Ledward with whom he had no children.
Boseman born in South Carolina and managed to graduate with one of the most prestige universities in the world – Howard.

Chadwick came to the White House to work with kids when he was playing Jackie Robinson. You could tell right away that he was blessed. To be young, gifted, and Black; to use that power to give them heroes to look up to; to do it all while in pain – what a use of his years. https://t.co/KazXV1e7l7
