WWE Superstars mourned the death of well-known actor Chadwick Boseman. The actor passed away a few hours back after losing his battle to colon cancer.
Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago. Colon cancer is the development of cancer from the parts of the large intestine. The early signs may include blood in the stool, feeling tired all the time, and weight loss.
Coming back to Boseman, he did his first bit of acting in a television role in 2003 on the show ‘Third Watch.’ The first film he starred in was a sports drama called ’42.’ He played the role of legendary baseball player Jackie Robinson.

The actor played another black icon in 2017. Boseman played judge Thurgood Marshall in a biopic. However, he rose to fame in the role of regal Black Panther in the Marvel Universe.
Chadwick Boseman died at the age of 43 in his Los Angeles residence. His family was by his side as the actor breathed his last. The family released a statement to the media. Here is a part of that statement.
“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 Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and several more- all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther.”

Can’t believe it. I’m at the drive-in watching Black Panther with my kids as I type this. I was just thinking to myself how talented Chadwick Boseman was right before finding out he had passed.
Everything he accomplished while being that sick…what a badass.#RIPChadwickBoseman pic.twitter.com/7oGwDWGLrL
