Taraja Ramsess, a stuntman known for his work on blockbuster films such as "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Endgame," has tragically lost his life in a devastating car crash that also claimed the lives of three of his children. He was 41 years old.
The accident occurred on Halloween night as Ramsess was driving with his five children in a pickup truck along the Interstate in DeKalb County. According to reports from WSB-TV News, the fatal collision took place when Ramsess turned onto an exit ramp, colliding with a tractor-trailer. Authorities are presently investigating the circumstances that led to the accident.
The devastating crash resulted in the loss of two of Ramsess' children, 13-year-old Sundari and 8-week-old Fujibo. Additionally, his 10-year-old son, Kisasi, who was initially placed on life support after being rushed to the hospital, also succumbed to his injuries.
Taraja Ramsess' mother, Akili, has spoken out following this tragic incident to pay tribute to her "beautiful, loving, talented" son. She revealed that two of her granddaughters survived the accident, including 3-year-old Shazia, who remains hospitalized with minor injuries after being ejected from the vehicle.
In an Instagram post dated November 1, Akili shared her thoughts on her son, saying, "All who knew and met him know how special Taraja was. He had a deep capacity for love and loved his children more than all. He loved his martial arts, motorcycles, and all things related to filmmaking. He had a very droll yet wicked sense of humor & yet could be as cornball corny as can be."
