Died of cancer. Aug 28, 2020.
RIP
Edit:
Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago, his family said in a statement.
"A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much," his family said. "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."

Something that speaks to the character he had, he fought Marvel's producers over T'challa's accent. The producers wanted the character to have a British accent, but Boseman insisted the character have an African accent.

That accent really helped make the character. A British accent just wouldn't have been the same.
