South African actress Busi Lurayi, who starred in the Netflix comedy How to Ruin Christmas: The Wedding, cause of death is still unknown.
Lurayi’s agency Eye Media Artists confirmed her death Monday in a statement from her family, saying, “We are deeply saddened to notify you of the passing of our beloved Busisiwe Lurayi. Busisiwe passed away suddenly and was pronounced dead at her residence on Sunday [July 10, 2022] by medical personnel. The reason for her death is still unknown as we await the results of the autopsy report.”
In How to Ruin Christmas: The Wedding, Lurayi’s Tumi Sello, “a reluctant bridesmaid to the core,” per the official description, “arrives the day before her sister’s traditional wedding day and manages to upset almost everyone. To get back in her family’s good graces, Tumi looks for the missing best man.”
Lurayi reprised her role for Season 2, which was titled How to Ruin Christmas: The Funeral and released in December 2021. In that season, Tumi is “looking forward to a quiet Christmas this time around” but the family rebel and black sheep’s plans “get ruined, and so does Christmas, when a death affecting the Sello and Twala families sees her guilt-tripped into helping with the planning of a Christmas funeral,” per the official synopsis.
