Reports claiming that music promoter Sam Larry has died following a road accident have been dismissed by one of his associates.

According to Mr Lilgaga, who spoke to PUNCH Online, Sam Larry is alive and currently receiving treatment after he was involved in a serious auto crash along the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road in Lagos.

The crash reportedly claimed the life of his bouncer, identified as Wale, while videos from the scene showed the vehicle badly damaged after colliding with a trailer.

Although there have been widespread rumours that Sam Larry died or may lose his legs due to the severity of the crash, his associate said he spoke with him shortly after the accident and confirmed that he is alive. However, he noted that the full extent of his injuries remains unclear.
