The management of Prime Care Hospitals has denied claims circulating on social media alleging that popular content creator Mukoro Mitchelle, widely known as King Mitchy, died at its facility in Abuja.
The hospital’s clarification follows claims reportedly shared by King Mitchy’s management, stating that she died after being rushed to the hospital following the alleged ingestion of a harmful substance.
In an official disclaimer posted on its Instagram page on Saturday morning, the hospital management debunked the reports, stating that King Mitchy was never admitted to the facility, let alone deceased there.
“The management of Prime Care Hospitals wishes to inform the public that the announcement of the alleged death of Miss Mukoro Mitchelle, popularly known as King Mitchy, at our facility in Abuja is FALSE. King Mitchy was never a patient in our hospital and did not pass away here,” the statement read.
The hospital further disclosed that it is taking active steps to address the spread of the “misinformation.”
“We are working with authorities to investigate the source of this misinformation and will take all necessary legal actions against those responsible. Please verify information through our official channels before sharing,” the management added.
The controversy began about nine hours earlier when King Mitchy’s management reportedly announced her passing via her official Instagram page, featuring a video in which she reportedly consumed a bleach agent during a TikTok live stream.
The post claimed that medical efforts were made to save her life in Prime Hospital Abuja, saying, “We are deeply heartbroken to share that our beloved Michelle has passed on.
“Despite all efforts from the medical team here in Abuja, we were told her condition was critical, and sadly, she could not be revived. Rest in peace, Micthelle. You will never be forgotten.
“If you know prime hospital in abuja help us beg them to do something to save her. Her mother has fainted in Lagos already and has been taken to a hospital,” they added.
The conflicting statements have sparked confusion and concern among fans and followers of the content creator. As of the time of filing this report, the death of King Mitchy has not been independently confirmed by family members or relevant authorities.
