YoloinOhio Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 He died on Jackie Robinson Day? 2020 just keeps rolling I guess 2 1
Doc Posted August 29, 2020 Author Posted August 29, 2020 Apparently he'd been battling it for 4 years, and Black Panther came out just 2 years ago (seems longer).
dpberr Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Did he keep this a secret? I never saw a thing that he was seriously ill.

dollars 2 donuts Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 This is just...man... ...didn’t even know he was sick... ...terrible.
RaoulDuke79 Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Yikes....in this day and age, how was this kept under wraps. RIP.
4merper4mer Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Bummer. He played Jackie Robinson, an American Hero, very well IMO. Waaaaaaaay too young.

I'm sure it was known to the studios because he would film between surgeries and chemo apparently I just don't think he ever made it public The guy who played Jackie Robinson in the Biopic dies on the day MLB rescheduled to honor Jackie....
Saxum Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 https://apnews.com/5f4352111fdead278da3651b44d311b8 Quote Boseman died at his home in the Los Angeles area with his wife and family by his side, his publicist Nicki Fioravante told The Associated Press. Boseman had not spoken publicly about his diagnosis. He is survived by his wife and a parent and had no children, Fioravante said.
Gambit Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 ***** cancer! That is way to young for anybody to die. And for him to be going through that for 4 years and yet still managed to do movies like Black Panther... He's a real life hero. RIP Chadwick 2
ChevyVanMiller Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 What a terrible piece of news to wake up to. RIP
