Kenyan TikToker Milly Wa Doc's Burial Marked by Emotional Tributes

Milly Wa Doc, a beloved 38-year-old TikToker whose real name was Milkah Moranga or Milkah Nyatuga Moranga, was laid to rest in an emotional ceremony on Friday, June 13, in Nakuru County at the Nakuru South Cemetery. Her passing earlier in June was attributed to pregnancy-related complications, leaving behind her two children, Brian and Sheila, and a wide community of mourners.
During the solemn event, Milly’s children, Brian and Sheila, displayed remarkable composure as they delivered heartfelt tributes to their mother. Brian, the firstborn son, gave a deeply emotional address, acknowledging the profound difficulty of losing his mother, who had been his sole parent and support system. He conveyed the immense sadness of the day, emphasizing that he wouldn't expect anyone who hasn't experienced such a loss to truly understand his pain, yet he promised to remain strong and thanked everyone for their unwavering support. Brian also admitted that the journey to healing would be arduous and that he and his sister would face it alone.
Sheila, Milly's 15-year-old daughter, who is preparing for her final exams later this year, gave a heartwarming speech that captivated many with her strength and lack of tears. Contrary to the typical grief, Sheila expressed happiness that her mother was now in a better place, stating that she had witnessed her mother’s immense suffering. Her composure and perspective that "we all grieve in different ways" deeply impressed Kenyans present at the burial.
The funeral was marked by an outpouring of emotion, with Milly's siblings and other family members visibly moved to tears. As Milly's body was lowered into the grave at 3:29 pm, her children Brian and Sheila were seen in tears, with Brian comforting his younger sister at the gravesite. Her Teso husband, Odeke, was also present at the ceremony, maintaining a low profile in a corner.
Adding to the complexity of the event was the notable absence of Milly Wa Doc’s ex-boyfriend, Zac, also known as Doc, a clinical doctor. Zac had been an integral part of Milly’s social media life, to the extent that she had even changed her name to Milly Wa Doc for him. Their split in November 2024 was fraught with difficulty, with Milly publicly expressing fears for her life and claiming that Zac should be held accountable if anything happened to her. Many fans and mourners had eagerly anticipated his presence or a tribute from him, but his no-show raised significant questions and eyebrows.
The circumstances surrounding Milly’s death, particularly her claims about Zac injecting her with various medications and suffering from side effects, prompted prominent figures like Esther Passaris to call upon the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to investigate both her demise and her ex-partner’s involvement. A friend of Milly’s confirmed that Zac was not spotted at the burial ceremony. This added a layer of unresolved mystery to the already tragic event.
The TikToker community and netizens also expressed their grief and sympathy. Close TikTokers mourned at the gravesite, recalling their joint live sessions and disbelief at her sudden passing. Netizens flooded social media with messages of condolence, particularly for Milly’s children, with many remarking on the profound pain of losing a mother. The ceremony also saw unusual incidents, such as a TBT video of Milly predicting her death surfacing and temporary confusion when her son 'vanished' with her burial permit.
