Police in Apac District are investigating the circumstances under which a man died in a hotel room in Apac Municipality on Monday night.
Allan Mobaho reportedly booked a room at Bangdongo Lodge in Temogo A cell, Arocha Division, on Monday evening but was discovered lying on a bed, lifeless, on Tuesday morning.
Ms Sarah Akello, a staff member at the lodge said when Mobaho checked in on Monday evening, he indicated in their visitors’ book that he was a resident of Alworoceng Village, Ibuje Sub County in Apac District.
Ms Akello said the ill-looking Mobaho did not have a National Identity Card with him, but told her that he had come to town to seek medical treatment at Apac Main Hospital.
““He told me that he had spent the whole day at Apac hospital, but was not attended to as expected, and decided to try again the following day. It’s unfortunate that he didn’t make it,” Ms Akello said.
Mr Jimmy Abili, the chairman LC1 of Temogo A cell, said a medical form was found in the deceased’s bag.
According to the medical form, Mr Abili said, Mobaho was diagnosed with tuberculosis and was supposed to report for treatment on Tuesday.
“He might have died a natural death, because he was not found with any signs of harm on his body, but the post mortem report will shed more light on the cause of his death,” he said on Wednesday.
