Abu Iddris, the manager of late Ghanaian actress Beverly Afaglo, has revealed the cause of her death and how she spent her final moments.
The actress passed away on Saturday, May 23, just four days before her 43rd birthday.
According to Idris in an interview with Ghana Weekend, Beverly Afaglo had been battling cancer for two years.
He added that despite the cancer diagnosis, she lived to the fullest till her last breath.
“It happened last night around 11:45 pm at the Tema International Maritime Hospital. She’s been battling cancer for two years. It’s been a relentless war. She really fought hard, and this is where it ended.”
“It’s genetic, so it spread. She’s been unwell for a very long time. In fact, we shot ‘Pimps Paradise’ while she was undergoing treatment. During the premiere and promotion, she was still undergoing treatment. So, she lived until the cancer took her,” he added.
Abu Iddris said even though she was seeking treatment abroad, Beverly Afaglo decided to return to Ghana to spend her final days with her children.
“Beverly lived, even while she was fighting cancer; she was still being the best she could be. In fact, she was in the US for treatment and was supposed to stay there because the West is advanced in these types of treatment. But she chose to see her kids and spend her last days with them.”
Meanwhile, announcing her death in an Instagram post on Sunday, her husband Choirmaster of Praye fame said he was heartbroken as he penned a tribute to his wife.
“My heart is shattered beyond words over the death of my beloved wife, Beverly Afaglo!!!”
“It would have been just like four more days to your birthday, but I guess the Lord wanted to celebrate with you, so He called you. You were my strength, my happiness, and the reason my life felt complete. Every moment with you was a blessing I will cherish forever. Sleep well, my babe.”
