Begho Ukueberuwa Dies: Development Executive & Former CAA Agent Was 27

This is news that has come as a shock to many. Begho Ukueberuwa, an executive and former agent, died May 9. He was just 27. His exact cause of death has not been confirmed; he apparently collapsed while trying to run a half-marathon.

Last fall, Ukueberuwa, a Brooklyn, NY native, was appointed to head up development across film and television for Fat City, the then-newly launched production company of Sara Murphy and Ryan Zacarias based at Anonymous Content with a first-look deal.

Before that he was an agent at CAA.

There has been an outpouring of grief since news of Ukueberuwa’s death first surfaced yesterday; the GoFund me page launched to help his family with funeral expenses reached its goal within hours.
