Nigerian actor Yul Edochie is currently mourning the loss of his first son, Kambilichukwu Edochie. According to reports from several news websites in Nigeria, Kambilichukwu fell unconscious and was rushed to the hospital before he tragically passed away.
The exact cause of his death remains unclear.
Prior to his passing, Kambilichukwu had been diligently preparing for an exam, according to his sister-in-law.
He had reportedly stayed up throughout the night studying before joining his friends to play football after his exam.
