Sick man suffocates to death in a bucket

A man was found dead with his head inside a water bucket in Karagita estate.

The body of flower farm worker was discovered by neighbors who broke into his house after he failed to respond to their calls.

“Part of the body was lying on the bed while the head was in the bucket,” said a neighbour.

Area Chief Hassan Guyo said the man was unwell and not drunk as initially reported.

“Relatives suspect that he was trying to vomit in the bucket as he had been ailing for some time but died before help could come,” Guyo said.

The incident came a day after a one-year old child drowned in a bucket full of water.
