How my daughter slumps, dies during her bridal shower – father

Less than 24 hours to her wedding, 28-year-old Rebecca Oyedotun, died after she slumped during her bridal shower ceremony in Oyo State, August 18.

Oyedotun and her fiancé, Abiodun Oluwadamilare, were set to get married on Saturday, August 19, but she spent her wedding day in the hospital and died the following day.

Oyedotun and her friends were having her bridal shower ceremony on Friday when she slumped. Her father, Evangelist Oyedotun of C&S Reformed Church, Isale-High School while recounting the incident, said: “Everything was going on perfectly until about 10:30 p.m. Friday when she with her friends were having the bridal shower ceremony and she reportedly slumped.

“We quickly took her to LAUTECH Teaching Hospital in Ogbomoso. After some time she was revived and she appeared stable and by dawn of Saturday, a nurse told us quoting a doctor that she would be briefly discharged to attend the ceremony to sign the marriage documents and be returned to continue the treatment.”
