Legendary Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has mourned the death of his grandson, Kambilichukwu Edochie.
Kambilichukwu died on Wednesday, March 29, two months after his parents, Yul and May Edochie, celebrated his 16th birthday.
Narrating how he died, a member of the family said, “The boy read throughout the night preparing for his exam today.
“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 unproductive”.
Reacting to the death of his late grandson, the veteran actor said his family started praying for the child immediately Yul called him on the telephone about the sad incident.
“Kambilinachukwu is a very quiet, brilliant and talented child. He’s not somebody you can ride easily. He doesn’t get angry no matter the situation,” Edochie said.
“He may change his composure, but he was definitely a very unusual person in so many respects. He was so accomplished. I always tell my son that I don’t like people excelling like this in any thing they are involved in. Experience has taught me that such people don’t last long.” he added.
Edochie said it was unfortunate that his grandson died while he had shown great promise.
