David Gbodi Odaibo, a Nigerian tech expert, died in his sleep seven days after earning a $125 million (roughly N69 billion) US government contract.
In a LinkedIn article, his brother and CEO of Retina-AI Health Incorporation, Mr. Stephen Odaibo, described how he died.
Stephen claims that his brother, who was properly vaccinated and did not have COVID-19, died in his sleep from a cardiac arrhythmia/heart attack at the age of 42. He added that his family has been heartbroken by the death.
David built an algorithm for remotely detecting threats at airports before he died, and it earned a $125 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security, beating out firms with billions of dollars in the bank.
He wrote;
My brother, David Gbodi Odaibo, passed away yesterday. My heart is broken. He had a cardiac arrhythmia/heart attack in his sleep. He was fully vaccinated and did not have covid. He and I were so close. He was only 42.
David was kind, gentle, brilliant, and humble.
He had a PhD in Computer Engineering and was a Kaggle Grandmaster, the highest attainable skill level in practical Machine Learning. He introduced me to AI.
The algorithm he wrote for automatically detecting threats at Airports just won a $125 Million contract from Department of Homeland security about 1 wk ago. His code beat out companies backed by Billions of dollars. So in the future when you safely fly the skies, please remember my brother David.
Our hearts are broken. My poor parents, his wife and two young children. His 4 siblings. We are devastated.
David and I were tremendously aligned in our interests and would often talk for hours. Our connection was rare and precious. We ended phone conversations with “love you.”
Hug your loved ones and tell them you love them.
Though there may be sorrow in the night, joy comes in the morning. I’m comforted that David is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
