In a heart-wrenching incident, Taraja Ramsess, the acclaimed stuntman from “Avengers: Endgame” and “Black Panther,” lost his life in a horrific car crash.
Tragically, the accident also claimed the lives of three of his children, including an 8-week-old infant. The unfortunate event occurred just before midnight on Halloween as Taraja was driving a pickup truck with five of his children.
While on the Interstate in DeKalb County, Georgia, he turned onto an exit ramp, leading to a collision with a tractor-trailer.

The heartrending news of Taraja Ramsess's passing was shared by his mother, Akili Ramsess, who is the executive director of the National Press Photographers Association. She took to Instagram to convey the devastating loss, stating, "My beautiful, loving, talented son Taraja, along with two of my grandbabies, his 13-year-old daughter Sundari, and his 8-week-old newborn daughter Fujibo, were killed in a horrific traffic accident."
Taraja Ramsess's mother described him as a loving father with a deep capacity for love and a passion for martial arts, motorcycles, and filmmaking. She also shared that his 10-year-old son, Kisasi, who was on life support, passed away as well. Netizens expressed their disbelief and paid tribute to the talented actor.
This tragedy is another blow to the “Black Panther” cast, which had previously lost its lead actor, Chadwick Boseman, in 2020 to colon cancer.
