The late Brian Chira will be buried in a graduation gown. This is according to content creator Baba Talisha who said it was a special request by Chira's grandmother.

He added that the deceased was a bright student in school and excelled in his studies even in campus.

"There was a special request from his grandmother that he be buried in a graduation gown. Brian was a very bright student. He got an A- so that was a special request," said Baba T.

Burial arrangements have already commenced and the TikToker will be laid to rest on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, at his grandmother's home in Githunguri.

Those who wish to pay their last respects and view the body will be allowed to do so at the Kenya University mortuary as there will be no viewing at the home, as per their traditions.

Chira was a victim of a hit-and-run accident that occurred along the Ndenderu-Ruaka road in Gacharage area early Saturday, March 16, 2024.

It was reported that he was going home after a night out at a popular joint in Gacharage when the incident happened.

Chira had been kicked out of the joint by security guards for causing a disturbance and boarded a motorcycle together with one Zeleck Momanyi.

Upon reaching the Gacharage roundabout, Chira asked the motorcycle rider identified as Abdul Charo to drop him home.

He (Chira) then alighted from the motorcycle and ran towards the main road where he was hit by a canter.

His body was taken to City Mortuary but was later moved to the Kenyatta University funeral home.

Chira was an orphan and was raised by his grandmother.
