A big loss for the entertainment industry and humanity as a whole. Boseman was truly living out his LP by giving POCs a positive role model in media and being a great goddamn actor at that.

May his family find peace and comfort in all this.

Yes very sad loss, there's a great story where Boseman got his first role on 'all in the family' on abc in his 20s. He wasn't happy with his characters stereotype of being into crime and gangs so he spoke with the producers about changing the character, but they ended up firing him, seeing him as hard to work with. The role went to Michael B Jordan but was significantly changed, so they actually took on some of Bosemans suggestions. 

It shows incredible integrity and confidence to be able to do that and ultimately he put that above his own self gain and progression in the industry in his first role as well. So I think he was an amazing light and a real hero especially for young black kids, the impact of which will be seen in the upcoming generation. It's a shame as he had so much more to do but his impact will be felt in many years to come

I'd like to understand how a so young man relatively healthy can develop cancer.

A colon cancer is obviously related to alimentary habits.

The mainstream media omited that he was vegan btw.

My uncle, who never drank, smoke and had a good diet and active lifestyle, got lung cancer out of nowhere and died in his early 50s. Cancer is insidious, it can pop up in anyone.

Sometimes these diseases just happen. We can decrease the likelihood by being mindful of our health habits but sometimes bad luck strikes :\

Anything can happen, my cousin was 37, healthy, vegetarian all of that and one day last year he passed out and had a some problem with his heart that no one including him knew about and died a few days later. Just got to make the most of what we got and be grateful
