“When he was drying clothes, the last piece of clothing was a mosquito net. When he threw the mosquito net over the rope, we saw him sway… he fell to the ground, started snoring with difficulty and foam started coming out of his mouth. We carried him and rushed him to Shamba Kawe Hospital, where we were told it was high blood pressure. A few minutes later, we were told that your brother had died.”
