LOS ANGELES:

-

Chadwick Boseman was buried near his

South Carolina hometown six days after he died at his home in Los Angeles, according to a death certificat­e obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

The “Black Panther” star was laid to rest Sept. 3 at Welfare Baptist Church Cemetery in Belton, South Carolina, about 11 miles from Boseman’s hometown of Anderson, the Los Angeles County Certificat­e showed. Anderson held a public memorial for Boseman a day later.

Boseman died at his home near Griffith Park in Los Angeles on Aug 28, the record said.

The immediate cause was listed as multiple organ failure, with the underlying cause of colon cancer, which his family said previously that he had been diagnosed with four years earlier.

Boseman had surgery to remove the colon cancer in 2016 after his diagnosis, and in March of this year had laparoscop­ic surgery to remove cancer that had metastasiz­ed, the record showed.

The document lists Boseman’s profession as “artist,” and his industry as entertainm­ent.

Very few outside of his family knew that Boseman, who played “Black Panther” in four Marvel movies and also starred in the

Jackie Robinson biopic “42,” had been battling colon cancer when he died at age 43. (AP)

ATLANTA: Rapper and actor T.I. has settled civil charges with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that he helped promote a fraudulent cryptocurr­ency.

T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, agreed to a civil settlement with the SEC that was announced Friday. He is paying a $75,000 fine and agreeing not to sell or market similar securities for at least five years.

Harris got into trouble, the SEC said, because he used his social media accounts to promote FLiK, falsely claiming to be a co-owner, and asked an unnamed actor and comedian to also promote FLiK, providing language calling it T.I.’s “new venture.” The SEC says both of those moves broke federal laws against selling securities without registerin­g with the SEC.
