Marvel and Power Rangers actor Eka Darville's son, 10, dies of cancer
November 4, 2023
Australian star Eka Darville’s son has died at the age of 10 after being diagnosed with aggressive glioneuronal brain cancer. The 34-year-old actor, who is best known for his appearances on Power Rangers RPM and Marvel’s Jessica Jones and The Defenders, put his career on hold earlier this year to care for his son, Mana. The family had moved to America for Mana to undergo high-risk surgery to remove as much of the primary tumour as possible, but his grandmother Malaika revealed that Mana had died in a video over the weekend. Mana collapsed on a beach in July 2022 and suffered a seizure that left the right side of his body paralyzed. He continued to experience these episodes and was misdiagnosed with Focal Cortical Dysplasia, a brain abnormality. Then in January 2023, an MRI scan revealed he had two large tumours growing across the surface of his brain. Doctors later told the family that Mana had a high-grade aggressive cancer, a form of glioneuronal tumour with genetic mutations usually only seen in glioblastomas and were no longer able to continue treatment on Mana.
