But Police have ruled out murder in the incident. the Criminal Investigations Division spokesperson, Charles Twine, says preliminary investigations and post-mortem report shows the deceased committed suicide.
“The postmortem done by three senior surgeons and one independent doctor provided by the family of the late Ffefeka Sserubogo in the presence of the brother of the deceased and the LC 5 vice-chairman indicated that the late Sserubogo committed suicide,” Twine said.

“The postmortem indicated he was killed by hapoxia which is a deficiency of oxygen in the body tissues. It is what kills all those who commit suicide.it was done with the participation of the family doctor and in the presence of the deceased’s brother Abubaker Kikuubo and the LC5 vice chairman, Joel Kayita,”Twine said.
Prior to his sudden demise,Sserubogo was known to be vocal and active in fighting against land grabbers and corruption in his jurisdiction.
