Turns out he died of this disease.
According to his brother, Badejo returned to Nigeria in 1980, and by 1983 was running his own art gallery. Badejo died in 1992, 39 years old, leaving behind two children.
Not one for the limelight, he was according to Allder “lovely, gentle and quiet,” and yet, says Powell, “part of cinematic history.”

He never did return for the “Alien” sequels, despite having the legal opportunity to do so. The 1979 hit was his only film credit.

SICKLE CELL DISEASE
What Is Sickle Cell Disease?
Sickle cell disease is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders that affect hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen through the body. The condition affects more than 100,000 people in the United States and 20 million people worldwide.
Normally, red blood cells are disc-shaped and flexible enough to move easily through the blood vessels. If you have sickle cell disease, your red blood cells are crescent- or “sickle”-shaped. These cells do not bend or move easily and can block blood flow to the rest of your body.
The blocked blood flow through the body can lead to serious problems, including stroke, eye problems, infections, and episodes of pain called pain crises.
