Police has found at least “19 sticks of marijuana” on the body of a Makerere University student who was found dead in the early hours of Monday.
The body of Jonathan Rwothongeyo, a final year law student who was due to graduate in January 2017, was found near the university’s main gate, URN reports.
While the investigators describe the postmortem report as inconclusive, early signs link Rwothnga’s death to drugs.
Samples of urine, blood and body of Rwothongeyo have however been taken to Government Analytical Laboratory (GAL) for further examination.
Jackson Mucunguzi, the Chief Security Officer at Makerere University said that they suspect the cause of death could have been drugs.
Meanwhile, other reports show that Rwothongeyo had spent the whole of Sunday with other former students of St Mathias Kalemba Secondary School partying at Resort Beach in Entebbe
The group is said to have tanked all types of alcohol and could have probably abused drugs as well.
“We left the place early to go home since today (Monday) is a working day only to receive heartbreaking news early this morning from our OB who happens to be his close mate at the Makerere Law School that my cousin has breathed his last,” his friend Bonny Atiku Bryant said.
“The cause of death, I still don’t know because Jonathan was fine and healthy when I last saw him.”
