Uganda police are investigating the mysterious death of a driver, alleged to be a Manchester United fan in Lira City, on Monday.
Daily Monitor reports that Eddy Okello was reported dead in his bedroom on Monday afternoon, hours after Liverpool inflicted a humiliating defeat on harsh rivals Manchester United, at Anfield Stadium.

North Kyoga regional police spokesperson and Superintendent of Police (SP) Patrick Jimmy Okema reportedly said that the investigations are ongoing to establish what caused his death.

Police say the deceased left his home at 6.30pm on Sunday to go and watch the match at a nearby entertainment joint.

“He came back home at around 9.30pm. His mother served him supper but did not eat it, saying that he was not feeling well. So, he entered his house and slept,” Okema said according to Daily Monitor.

The police also said that they will interrogate his close friends and some of the people who interacted with him before his death.

According to his father, Okello’s cell phone kept ringing for long but he did not bother to check out, only to be informed later on that his son had died.
