Bishop Stuart University community is mourning the sudden death of Florah Kyayemagye, a lecturer in the faculty of education, arts and media studies at the university.

The university shared the heartbreaking news on their official Facebook page today, expressing profound grief over the loss.

Rose Rwankole, the university’s Public Relations Officer, informed this reporter that the deceased, who was pregnant with her second child, collapsed around 3 PM on Friday. She was immediately taken to Neocare Clinic in Booma, where doctors determined that the baby had passed away. She was later referred to Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital on Saturday morning for further care after experiencing breathing difficulties.

She stated that the deceased was pronounced dead on Monday morning, reportedly due to severe preeclampsia. However, Rwankole noted that they were still awaiting the postmortem report from Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital at the time of reporting.

A funeral service will be held on Tuesday at All Saints Church, followed by another service at Kanyaryeru Church of Uganda. There will also be a vigil at her ancestral home in Akaku, Kanyaryeru. She will be laid to rest on August 28th, 2024, in Akaku, Kanyaryeru Sub County, Kiruhura District.
