Cause of Death
Boseman was detected with stage III colon cancer in 2016, which finally progressed to a stage IV before 2020. Boseman had not said publicly about his cancer diagnosis. During treatment (multiple surgeries and chemotherapy), he sustained to work and completed filming for several films, including Marshall, Da 5 Bloods, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and others.
Boseman died at home of problems related to colon cancer on August 28, 2020, with his wife and family by his side. An official statement on his social media accounts read:
“It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016, and battled with it these last 4 years as it progressed to stage IV. 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. He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side. The family thanks you for your love and prayers, and asks that you continue to respect their privacy during this difficult time.”
