Nollywood reports say, actor, Yul Edochie has lost his first son, Kambilichukwu Edochie.
The boy was rushed to a Nigerian hospital after falling unconscious but he didn’t make it alive, Nigeria’s Vanguard said.
Yul’s sister-in-law who was at the scene reportedly said the boy read throughout the night preparing for his exam on Thursday.
After his exam in school, he joined his mates to play football and that’s when he developed a seizure and was rushed to Mother and Child Hospital.
All efforts by the doctors to resuscitate him proved futile, the report added.
This happened two months after Yul Edochie and his first wife May Edochie, celebrated their first son and second child’s birthday when he turned 16.
“My first son just turned 16. Happy birthday to you Kambi Leo Yul-Edochie. Many more great years I wish you loads of accomplishments and greatness.
May God be with you always. Daddy loves you,” his father wrote on Instagram
Yul, the last child of veteran actor, Pete Edochie, married his wife, Mary, at 22 after they both dated for six years. He followed in his father’s footsteps and debuted in the movie industry a year after his marriage.
