No body with non 2xx status codes

I’m attempting to throw a 404 with an error message if a resource object does not exist. However, I can’t set a custom JSON error message. I’ve tried with non 2xx statuses and was unsuccessful in setting the body.

    public function getById($req, $res, $args)
    {
        $question = $this->questionRepo->getById($args['questionId']);

        if ($question) {
            return $res->withJson($question->toArray(), 200);
        }

        return $res->withJson(['error' => 'Question not found'], 404);
    }

If I change the 404 to 200 status then the error will be passed to the body. When I set it back to 404, the body is empty.
