Ugandan socialite and philanthropist Bryan White has finally broken his silence about the heartbreaking incident that led to the death of Nalubwama Caroline, a woman reportedly close to him.
Speaking from his hospital bed, the moneyed figure shared a chilling firsthand account of how the fire started, the chaotic moments that followed, and why he believes the tragedy wasn’t caused by a gas explosion — contrary to what many have speculated online.
🔥 “The Fire Came Out of Nowhere,” Bryan White Recounts
Bryan White vividly described the events of October 23rd, when the horrific fire broke out in the boy’s quarters of his residence.
“I lit a candle and entered the house. The moment I placed it inside, fire blew from nowhere,” he recalled emotionally.
In his account, he initially managed to escape the flames — but rushed back inside after hearing Caroline’s desperate screams for help.
“She was shouting that she was dying,” he said. “I ran back to see what she was up to and found her covered in a bedsheet.”
He explained that the fire had blocked their pathway, and in the chaos, he accidentally kicked a basin filled with petrol, which only intensified the flames.
🚨 “We Managed to Escape, But She Was Burnt”
According to Bryan White, both he and Caroline eventually made it out of the burning room — but not without severe injuries.
“We successfully made it outside, but she was burnt. People kept pouring water on us even when I told them to stop,” he explained.
He added that Caroline was still conscious and speaking after escaping the blaze. Shockingly, she allegedly claimed that someone was targeting their lives, suggesting the incident could have been more than a tragic accident.
“She told me that someone was after us because of misfortunes,” Bryan White stated.
🚑 “She Told Me Not to Call Her Parents”
Bryan White said they rushed Caroline to Mabirizi Hospital on Salama Road before she was transferred to Kiruddu Hospital, where she sadly succumbed to her injuries.
In a painful recollection, he revealed Caroline’s final moments and her fear of involving her family.
“She was still alive and talking. She pleaded with me not to call her parents because she feared they’d use the situation to get money from me,” Bryan White said tearfully.
He believes Caroline’s death was caused more by trauma and fear than by the burns alone.
“I know she died of trauma because she was scared of people who kept telling her that they would call her people,” he explained.
🕯️ Caroline’s Complicated Relationship With Her Family
According to Bryan White, Caroline’s relationship with her parents was strained, stemming from long-standing financial tensions.

“Her parents looked at her as a money-making machine,” he said. “She didn’t have peace even from her own people.”
