As news of Charlie Murphy’s unfortunate passing spread, many people have taken notice of the final Tweet he sent out.
When a star of his caliber passes away, it’s not uncommon to check on his/her social media, but Charlie’s last tweet, shared late Tuesday night (Apr. 11), stands out for being eerily foretelling.

Early reports indicate that the news of his death came as a surprise to those closest to him, as they believed the chemotherapy he was undergoing to treat his leukemia was working. And with other recent news, it appeared there was nothing immediately forthcoming that would indicate his untimely passing.
For one, he was currently on tour performing stand-up along with Cedric The Entertainer, Eddie Griffin, D.L. Hughley, and George Lopez as part of the Comedy Get Down Tour. It was also announced back in January that he had been cast as a prison guard in the popular Starz show Power.
It’s clear that even during his battle with leukemia, Murphy was not content to let the disease control his life. His previous two Tweets, just two and three days before his death, show someone who was still fighting and still working.
Rise & Grind: Wake up with the rising sun and seize the day!

But his message on April 4th is especially poignant, as one can only hope the two are eating pancakes in heaven together now.
