According to Mangochi police spokesperson Rodrick Maida, Sumani had been sick for a long time and on February 16, 2017 he went to Makumba Health Centre for treatment.

Death hangingWhile there the deceased thought of testing for HIV and was tested positive. This did not go well with him and on Friday he went missing.

“Search was conducted by the community and he was found dead after hanging himself on a tree with a rope in a nearby bush at Steven village on Saturday,” said Maida.

Postmortem conducted at Makumba Health Centre revealed that death was due to strangulation.

  32. sadiki sumani should have just aceppted his fate…… he deserved it, he needed it…HIV/AIDS was his salvation…he just lost an opportunity…..he could have experienced sufferring to its fullest potential and then, DIE. death is actually a temporarly previlege and is guaranteed for averyone…….everyone who has ever lived is dead and there is no reason to think that anyone presently alive will be able to escape that same fate………….in this life, four things are guaranteed for everyone; suffering, sickness, old age,and death. this dead man chose to skip sickness which somehow, he, was destined to experience……it will follow him..its not over yet. it is far from over……….he has thousands of billions of years ahead of him…..so many lives……..even JEHOVAH himself is destined for some sort of death
