The Edochie family are currently in mourning as actor Yul Edochie, has lost his first son, Kambilichukwu.
The young boy, whose birthday was celebrated in January, passed away suddenly, leaving the family devastated.
The cause of Kambilichukwu’s death is yet to be officially disclosed, but it was reported that Kambilichukwu had studied throughout the night on Tuesday for an exam he was scheduled to take on Wednesday.
After completing the test, he played a game of football with his friends, during which he collapsed and suffered a seizure.
“After his exam in school, he joined his mates to play football and he developed a seizure and was rushed to the Mother and Child Hospital. All efforts by the doctors to resuscitate him proved abortive,” a source quoted by Vanguard revealed.
The Edochie family and friends of the deceased are heartbroken and grieving his loss.
Yul Edochie and his first wife, May, celebrated their first son and second child when he turned 16 two months ago.
“My first son just turned 16. Happy birthday to you Kambi Leo Yul-Edochie. Many more great years I wish you with loads of accomplishments and greatness. May God be with you always. Daddy loves you,” his father wrote on Instagram.
May Kambilichukwu’s soul rest in eternal peace, and may the Edochie family find comfort and solace during this difficult time.
