“We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our friend Chadwick Boseman,” St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital wrote on Instagram.
In 2018, San Judas published a series of photographs of Boseman with patients on Twitter.
His parents told Boseman they were hoping to hold on until the film was released, which he said was humiliating. He said he had encouraged him to paint hard for everyone who expected “something great.”
