“The 35-year-old man was pronounced dead at the hospital. We are yet to determine the cause of death as we are still waiting for the post mortem results,” the station commander said.
As the family was still coming to terms with their son’s death, another tragedy struck. His father was found hanging dead from a tree not so far from their home. The-83 year-old is alleged to have sneaked out Sunday morning, and hanged himself at a nearby bush, a stone's throw from their house where funeral proceedings of his son were underway," a shocking police report indicated.
“We received another report yesterday (Sunday) that his father disappeared and when people went out to look for him, they found him hanging from a tree,” added the police.
Police have advised members of the public to seek for help very fast even from the police instead of taking their own lives.
