“He was last spotted drinking at a local bar on Saturday night but unfortunately failed to make it home and was found dead at the Landing Site on Sunday morning,” Okello a local said.
In his statement to the media, Mubi said that they suspect the football lover died of depression following the Manchester humiliating defeat.
