If you’re wondering about his death he committed suicide, Scott decided it would be a great idea to get Badejo into the mood for the role by having him isolated from other people and staying alone at a hotel seperate from the other actors and just not interacting with other humans in general. I think he committed suicide around 3 months after returning home to Nigeria and reported being extremely depressed while on set. So yeah great job to Ridley Scott there.

He certainly did not commit suicide, and was alive and in relative good health well into the late eighties. He was not the type to get depressed as suggested, and was in fact a very positive thinking individual, not prone to that sort of mind set. He owned and ran a highly successful art gallery located in Falomo, Lagos, Nigeria, and resided at Olonode Street, Yaba on mainland Lagos. His eventual death, I believe,was as a consequence of an inherited blood condition, the details of which I need not reveal further, other than to say he had endured it since childhood, and that he in facte far outlived the expected lifespan of those who have it. Your account of his initial meeting with director Ridley Scott in a West End pub is just as he related it to me. His was a unique and vibrant personality in so many ways and news of his demise came as a rude shock to those who knew him. Sorely missed.

MemberOvomorphAug-27-2013 12:33 PMboth stories are sad :( is there any hard evidence? that second one is convincing, but often people will make up death stories about famous people just to get attention.
