A 26-year-old Nigerian international student, Obanyeli Jesse Chima, has died after suffering an asthma attack while preparing to celebrate his birthday with friends in London.
Chima had recently completed his master’s degree in Public Health and was awaiting graduation when the incident occurred.
According to MyLondon, the incident happened on Saturday, September 19, when Chima met his friend, Eva, and her partner to celebrate their birthdays, which fell on consecutive days. While waiting in a lounge, Chima reportedly told Eva that he needed to step outside for some air because he was experiencing an asthma attack. He began struggling to breathe and used three inhalers he had with him, but they failed to provide relief. Eva called an ambulance, but Chima collapsed while she was speaking to the emergency operator.
