The 49-year-old actor was said to have fallen down in the bathroom at his house in Ikorodu, Lagos, this Sunday morning.

The Osogbo-born actor reportedly died shortly afterwards.

Many of his colleagues have taken to social media to mourn the loss of the actor.

Fellow actor, Odunlade Adekola, wrote on his Instagram handle: “Jesus Christ. We lost Murphy.”
