His Belarusian club FC Vitebsk confirmed the sad incident, explaining that he drowned in Lake Beloye.
“The football club “Vitebsk” reports that on June 5, 2021, on the lake “Beloye”, in the area of the tourist base “Verasy”, OSVOD employees found the drowned Kelvin Odenigbo,” the club said in a Google-translated statement posted on its website.
