The comedian, who also used to make appearances on popular NTV comedy Auntie Boss, had been in and out Kenyatta National Hospital after being diagnosed with Tuberculosis in 2019 and brain tumor earlier this year. 

Two weeks ago, Othuol developed complications due to the two ailments and was rushed back to KNH in critical condition. 

Similarly, in June, he fainted while at home and was rushed to Kitengela Hospital and later transferred to KNH for further monitoring before being discharged.
