That Nigerian former boxer, Jeremaiah Okorodudu is dead is an established fact. He died on Wednesday, June 28th, 2023 after he suffered from health complications.
Jerry, who was scheduled for a surgery on Thursday to amputate his leg which was infected, gave up the ghost at a Lawanson hospital in Lagos.
Be that as it may, family sources squealed that; “Apart from the partial stroke, he was also diabetic. The sore foot was also cancerous. It developed into a foot cancer. Originally, the foot was to be amputated last Saturday but because the initial deposit had not reached the amount the hospital was asking for, the surgery had to be rescheduled for Thursday.”
“The hospital authority initially refused to release the corpse, pending when the backlog of monies owed them was settled. The amount of N600,000 was still outstanding.”
“The hospital eventually released the body to his daughter. The daughter has taken the remains of her late father to an undisclosed morgue in Satellite Town in Lagos.”
For those who don’t know, the former Nigerian boxer represented the country at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.
He developed a partial stroke about two years ago. Jerry managed the partial stroke until his health deteriorated and was thereafter diagnosed with Diabetics.
