Colon cancer in your 30’s? Just brutal. Loved his work. RIP

Could have been colon cancer that eventually spread to the liver, so I'm not sure which they'd report as the cause. My uncle died at 41 from colon cancer, and it spread to his liver as well. In the years since then (that was in the 90s), screenings and early detection have become so much better that it's shocking to hear of someone so young having it. I read today that it's more prevalent in the African-American community, and that group is recommended to start screenings at 40 instead of 50 (which wouldn't have helped him anyway). This was from a doctor friend of mine, but I didn't verify that independently.dickey moe said:
I've felt this loss today more than most celebrity losses. In addition to his lead roles, his turn in Da 5 Bloods, which @Capella pointed out, was so memorable in a relatively small role.

RIP. You know you're out of touch with entertainment when an entertainer's death is hitting people hard and you don't even know who that person is. It doesn't matter. Colon and liver cancer at that age seems unjust. I hope he rests in peace for real.

I assume that the star of any movie has a full physical workup prior to starting any film (for insurance purposes). 42 was his first starring role and they probably filmed that sometime around 2011. Guessing they don't automatically test for something like in someone so young so they just didn't catch it. (Not sure if any warning signs for this would show in a more routine blood test or something)
Damn shame they didn't catch it early enough to save him.

Big heart on this little guy, moved by Boseman's passing.
This is an occasion for which I wish this forum could display pictures. The link is to a boy who set up a simple and sweet tribute to Black Panther in his family's driveway.

Ugh. I’m bawling. Reminded me of my son Chance. He was a big Lord of the Rings fan. He and I went to see the first movie in The Hobbit trilogy and he loved it. Unfortunately, he passed before the second installment was released. I haven’t watched the second and third films and never will.
In any event, GB Chadwick Boseman. What a great person he was.

ABC is airing Black Panther commercial free tonight
Trying to think of the last time I watched a network channel for a couple hours straight (non-sports), drawing a blank

Very sad. Many will remember him for Black Panther but he was incredible in "42" as Jackie Robinson. I felt the movie was missing a bit in terms of really hitting the spot on the racism and threats he took and how Brooklyn was treated during this time for a bit.OrtonToOlsen said:
