AGN investigates Actor Don Brymo’s death, dismisses claim he died on set

The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has taken steps to initiate a preliminary investigation into the circumstances surrounding the passing of renowned actor Don Brymo Uchegbu.

Don Brymo, as he was fondly called, passed away on Thursday, June 15. While some reports suggested that he died peacefully in his sleep, others claimed that he collapsed while filming a movie in Ahoada, Port-Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State.

In a statement issued by Emeka Rollas, the President of AGN, the guild confirmed that they have begun preliminary investigations into the matter.

The initial findings indicate that Brymo did not die on any movie set. The guild also emphasized that the untimely death of Brymo further reinforces their persistent calls for members to enrol in the AGN health management (HMO) plans, which aim to ensure that their health is regularly monitored and taken care of.

The AGN’s decision to investigate the circumstances surrounding Don Brymo’s death demonstrates their commitment to seeking the truth and providing clarity to the public. They hope that this investigation will shed light on the unfortunate incident and help prevent similar occurrences in the future.

The statement reads in part

“The Actors Guild of Nigeria was thrown into another state of grief following the sudden demise of Don Brymo who was reported to have slumped on a film set in Rivers State and later passed on. This tragic death came as a rude shock and has thrown the entire Guild into another grieving moment as we mourn his death. I have taken reports from all the actors on the set with him and found out that he didn’t collapse on set as widely speculated.

While I commiserate with his immediate family, we have commenced preliminary investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, especially from the hospital where he was rushed to.

This has also proven further credence to our incessant clarion calls on members to sign up for the AGN health management (HMO) plans to help put their health in check constantly.

I and the entire members of the Guild are saddened by this tragic development of a death that could have been possibly avoided if urgent intervention was provided. May Don Brymo’s soul rest in peace and may God comfort all of us left behind to mourn him. We shall keep members abreast with the latest information and updates from the family.”
