Establish a business
His distraught father said he was yet to understand his son's demise.
"He was hesitant to have his leg amputated but it was done to save his life. When he was taken back to the ward, he cried so much in pain and his condition later deteriorated and I was informed that he had died," he said.
He read their last messages before death which the young man had asked his father for help to establish a business because he had a business plan.
