A Medical report from Case Medical Centre Kampala has revealed that the Uganda Human Rights Commission Chairperson Med Kaggwa succumbed to hypertension.
Kaggwa, 64, went unconscious in his car this morning shortly after leaving his home in Mulago, on the outskirts of Kampala.
According to Luke Owesigirye the Kampala Deputy Metropolitan Police Spokesperson, the incident happened at Mulago roundabout at 7;55 am.
He says Kaggwas car bumped into a vehicle ahead of him which drew attention from the traffic’s officer and prompted people to come around, the car had to be broken into to remove him.
He was later rushed to Case Medical Centre, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Dr. Patrick Kaliika, the Medical Director of Case Medical Centre says that Kaggwa was rushed to the hospital at 7:55 a.m. by a Medical Doctor from Mulago Hospital who found him convulsing in his car near the Mulago roundabout.
“The car allegedly stopped suddenly and knocked another car in front of it. The car was found locked hence broken into by the bystanders. He was found convulsing and unresponsive,” he says in a statement released this afternoon.
