THE Namibian police are investigating the unnatural death of 17-year-old Imene Fortune Sheetheni, a resident of the Omakulukuma informal settlement in Ondangwa, who is suspected of having consumed something harmful that damaged his internal organs.
According to the police, Sheetheni initially complained about knee pain but was rushed to the Onandjokwe District Hospital after he began vomiting, bleeding from the nose, becoming weak, and experiencing hallucinations.
He was admitted to the intensive care unit, where he passed away a day later.
An autopsy was conducted at the request of Sheetheni’s parents, who had learned that the deceased had consumed soup somewhere in Ondangwa on that particular day.
“The results revealed that the deceased might have consumed something harmful that damaged his internal organs. Samples were taken for further investigations,” said the police.
