Papa died on Saturday, July 18, moments after arriving at Karen Hospital.

The actor collapsed at the hospital’s parking lot next to his wife after developing breathing complications.

His family members said the thespian tested positive for coronavirus after traveling back to Nairobi from Kakamega County.

The father of three had isolated himself at home a week before his condition dwindled.

Papa who was born in Mumia knew he was born to be an actor after relocating to Nairobi’s Umoja estate.

Personalities like Jalang’o said he was partly to thank for their success thanks to the many doors he opened for budding performers.
