A Port Harcourt-based businesswoman, Amarachi Okpala, collapsed and died in the kitchen while making breakfast for her family.
According to media personality Chukwudi Iwuchukwu, the incident occurred on Saturday morning, August 3, 2024.
Her husband discovered her unconscious and rushed her to the hospital, where she was declared dead.
Iwuchukwu commented, “Just like that. We are facing a slumping epidemic in our country, and this is becoming increasingly concerning. I don’t know if it’s the water we drink or the food we consume that’s causing this epidemic, but it is worrying. May her soul rest in peace.”
Nevertheless, friends and acquaintances have gone to social media to express their grief over the passing of Amarachi Okpala.
One person, Rose, struggled to write “Rest in peace” for her, questioning why she had to leave her young kids behind. Another, Omade Enyi, lamented the loss of young lives and emphasized the importance of addressing chest pains promptly, suggesting they could be related to cardiac issues, which are often the cause of sudden deaths.
