Floyd Mayweather’s assistant, Marikit “Kitchie” Laurico, 47, passed away less than a year ago, but it’s something that the boxing legend is still trying to get used to even today.
Mayweather’s assistant, who worked with “The Money Team” for a decade of her life, was almost family to Floyd, who shared how close he was to Kitchie on a recent appearance on The Pivot with hosts Ryan Clark and Channing Crowder.

“Kitchie was the only person in life that I can talk about anything to, that knew my deepest secrets. There was no male or female in my life, that I told more stuff to than her,” Mayweather said while admitting his feelings towards his late friend.
But how did Marikit Laurico, aka Kitchie, die? Multiple reports suggest a different reason for Kitchie’s cause of death. Let’s take a look.
How did Floyd Mayweather’s assistant, Kitchie, die?
Marikit Laurico passed away in April 2023. At the time, multiple reports about her death revealed the reason to be sickness and passed away while on her way to the hospital.
Some reports are calling the cause of her death to be a heart attack. (Probably because of the injuries sustained during an accident?)
More recently, a story has come out which claims that Kitchi passed away in a car accident. According to The Malang Post and several other reports on the web, Marikit “Kitchie” Laurico passed away in a car accident while on her way to pick up Floyd Mayweather from the airport.
The accident occurred on March 28, 2023, on her way to the airport. Kitchie slammed into a passenger shuttle and sustained severe injuries. Andrei Sison, a close friend of Mayweather, also lost his life in the accident. Josh Ford, who was with Kitchie and Sison, was the sole survivor.

Neither Floyd Mayweather nor Floyd Mayweather’s CEO has commented on Kitchie’s cause of death. Multiple threads on Reddit and other discussion forums hint at the possibility of the car accident being real. However, there’s no apparent source to confirm that Kitchie died in a car accident.
