The exact cause of death of Kalangala District Woman Member of Parliament, Helen Nakimuli, remains unknown even after a postmortem was conducted at Mulago National Referral Hospital.
According to the Leader of the Opposition, Joel Ssenyonyi, pathologists have not yet reached a conclusive finding despite carrying out the examination.
“Even after the postmortem, doctors have not yet established the exact cause of death,” Ssenyonyi said while speaking to the media on Monday afternoon.
He added that further medical investigations are ongoing to determine what may have led to her sudden death.
“More tests are being conducted, including toxicology, to help ascertain what could have caused her passing,” he added.
Nakimuli passed away on Sunday while undergoing surgery for fibroids at Alexandria Medical Centre, a private facility specializing in women’s health services.
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus and are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue.
Helen Nakimuli is expected to be laid to rest on Friday this week at her ancestral home in Luweero District.
