Charles, the winner of Pulitzer prize, was pronounced dead on June 21, Thursday. He endured the pain of chronic disease, malignant cancer for a long time after he underwent surgery in August last year.

The enormously talented man who has defeated unbelievable odds and overcome obstacles, encountered a foe over which he said he cannot claim victory. In early June 2018, he sent a letter to the readers on the Washington Post’s website where he wrote about his “final verdict.

In the note, he announced that he only has a few weeks to live following the painful battle with aggressive cancer.
