“On the day of incident, the couple had their dinner together with the husband’s sister and their children, then asked his wife to prepare him a cup of coffee. After a while, he went to his room to sleep, but suddenly fell ill, so the family took him to a hospital, where the doctor pronounced him died upon arrival,” the relative noted.

“We escorted him back to the house, in preparation for the funeral of his body to his final resting place but the man’s wife was in a state of shock and collapsed,” he said.
