And yet no NPR reporting on this amazing story...

And on this same day, NPR died. RIP NPR.

He fought on like a true Hero for years with the enemy of so many people CANCER. He was courageous and strong just like the Black Panther. Peace to my Brother.

And on this same day, NPR died. RIP NPR. (see NPR's _natalieescobar who just locked her account to protest her tweet and hide her love for this story.)

Cancer takes people too young--I lost a friend to colon cancer in 2013. And cancer takes the old as well--my mother starts chemotherapy in early Sept. So hard. How good that Chadwick Boseman can leave this legacy of inspiring so many with his acting--and in this particular role.

So sad.

The only African American super hero dies from cancer at 43 very suspicious Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman

Cancer research is something people should be donating to, not that guy sitting in a hospital for fighting police

I can’t speak to the person. But this is the loss of a magnificent talent.

Surprised npr didn’t blame trump for it

This will be a tough one for our kids. Chadwick Boseman is a hero they know & love. They will mourn him again & wonder why he’s gone. An opportunity to hold them, tell them we know how it hurts, teach them a little about a disease, and be there for them. Show our kids our love.

💔🙏

Wakanda Forever! RIP respect

This yet should remind people again to do tests early because colon cancer can be treated at early-mid stage.

RIP King, May you live forever in Wakanda.🙏

Such heartbreaking news. Prayers and sympathy to his family. RIP 🙏

He made 21 bridges too, you couldn’t even tell.

RIP

RIP

Heartbreaking!

Tragic. So young.

Ha ha ha ha 😆

Stark reminder of how fragile and short life can be. Blessings WakandaForever

How heartbreaking! Such an incredible talent....then you find out that while he was filming his amazing turn as T’Challa, he was fighting cancer. Rest In Peace and Power, Mr Boseman. We are all the lesser for your absence.

Long Live The king... R.I.P.

Can we stop deifying black men for being C list actors? Ancient Egyptians were not remotely subsaharan African.

Shedding tears.

💔💔💔

Terrible disease that is becoming all too common at younger and younger ages. Get your colonoscopies. Start young.

What can I say just heart breaking

Half of the commenters here believe Wakanda is a real country.

I had no idea he was fighting colon cancer. He was so talented. This is quite a shock.

Wow. Very sad. Black Panther was the only recent movie I loved enough to immediately watch again. Condolences to family and fans.

😢RIP

I haven’t cried about any celebrity dying except for Robin Williams until now...because this isn’t fucking fair. Wakanda forever 😭

Horrible loss... James Brown, Jackie Robinson, The Black Panther... He was all of those guys and more. A total class act. He will be missed. So long T'Challa. ripchadwickboseman RIPBlackPanther
