Veteran reporter Kemi Olunloyo has confirmed that reality personality Rico Swavey died after leaping on the driving wheel while intoxicated.
Kemi Olunloyo, who asserted that Doren Facility—the first hospital Rico Swavey was taken to—exclusively provided her with a statement, uploaded it on Twitter, where she also started a “Space” to address the matter.
According to the statement, Rico was carried to Doren Hospital by a good Samaritan at around 1:45 am on Tuesday, October 10th, while severely intoxicated and smelled of alcohol.
It was also revealed that he was moved to Evercare Hospital, where he later passed away.
The statement also debunked the viral claim of nurses making videos and laughing while Rico was left unattended while insisting that no Doren staff made a video rather they were begging those who brought him to assist in moving him into the vehicle for speedy transfer to Evercare Hospital.
