Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has called on the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to conduct a thorough and transparent probe into the death of TikToker Milcah Nyatuga, popularly known as Milly wa Doc.

Taking to her official X account on the night of Wednesday, June 4, 2025, Passaris stated that the TikTok star’s untimely death raises serious concerns.

“I am deeply disheartened by the tragic passing of Milly wa Doc. My heartfelt condolences go out to her children, family, and the fans who drew strength from her candid and courageous voice. Her untimely death raises serious concerns. I call upon the Directorate of Criminal Investigations @DCI_Kenya to conduct a thorough and transparent probe,” Passaris stated.

She went ahead to urge Chief Government Pathologist, Dr. Johansen Oduor, to get involved in the probe.

Passaris appeals to KMPDC

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) lawmaker who has been vocal on femicide matters further urged the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) to investigate the online allegations circulating against her partner, who is reportedly a licensed medical professional.

According to Passaris, the allegations speak to possible abuse of office and failure in duty of care matters that demand immediate attention.

“The Chief Government Pathologist, Dr Johansen Oduor, should be urgently involved. Furthermore, I urge the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC) @KmpdcOfficial to investigate the online allegations circulating against her partner, who is reportedly a licensed medical professional. These allegations speak to possible abuse of office and failure in duty of care matters that demand immediate attention. No stone must be left unturned. Kenya must stand for truth, justice, and the protection of women,” she stated.

Milly wa Doc’s death

The TikToker’s death has left many fans and fellow content creators in mourning.

Her passing, confirmed by her family in Nakuru, has sparked an outpouring of grief and questions about what truly happened.

Reports indicate that Milly had developed a cyst in her stomach and was advised to undergo surgery to have it removed.

Although the operation was carried out, Milly began to experience heavy internal bleeding and lost a significant amount of blood, prompting a blood transfusion.

Following three days of hospital care, she was discharged to recover at home. However, things quickly took a turn for the worse.

Reports further indicate that both of Milly’s kidneys failed shortly after, and she was placed on medication.

She is reported to have begun dialysis on Monday, June 2, 2025, and was reportedly in stable condition when she left the hospital.

Sadly, her condition deteriorated overnight, and she passed away later that evening. Her official cause of death has been listed as acute kidney failure.
