The results of the medical check up after the accidents showed that, he got a fracture that caused a dislocation of some of the backbones, this was after a minor medical operation which was carried out at a regional hospital in Musoma town. As a result of this, his spinal cord had to be joined with artificial irons to ease his body movements, and later on this was done by medical experts in a successful operation he underwent at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, popularly known in short as KCMC hospital. This is the second largest referral hospital in the country which is located at Moshi town and geographically this is in the northern part of the country. These special man-made medial tools had a life span of 50 years on his body if he could continue living, but because of lack of intensive practices as well as physical exercises that the doctors had recommended for him that he should do while at home, his body failed to respond due to frequent illnesses which had exacerbated the problem more severely, and as a result some diseases developed resulting into severe pains that caused general weaknesses on his body. This is the case he always kept complaining about despite of the fact that whenever he was being taken to the hospital for check up, the doctors kept on giving him tablets to swallow so as to relieve pain.
When they had finished putting the body in a coffin, the body was taken out and placed at the back of a Land-Rover and a procession started with three cars moving slowly signaling other motorists who by-passed them. I was seated on the third car, while a land rover carrying the coffin was in the middle as you can see in the photo.
