Cartoonist Dr Jim Spire Ssentongo has revealed that his brother Dr John Spire Kiggundu’s died from a heart attack, dismissing various online accounts of the cause of his brother who was discovered dead on Sunday afternoon.
In a post on his X on Monday, Dr Jim Spire dismissed harmful disinformation narratives of his brother John Spire, the proprietor of Henrob Hospital-Zzana, being kidnapped and murdered for political reasons, noting that such may cause harm and hatred towards people, asking the public to let his deceased brother rest.
“It is NOT TRUE that he was shot and dumped in a trench. He WAS NOT kidnapped by anyone. It is NOT TRUE that he was killed by anyone for political or other reasons.The post-mortem report (credibly done) shows that he died of a heart attack and was only found a day after” he wrote.
Dr Spire added, “It is not true that he had ANY business relationship with Owek. Peter Mayiga. He was only a chief guest at the launch of Henrob Hospital in 2020 – which Kiggundu built over the years through very hard work from a one room clinic in 2003 to where it is now. It is named after his sons Henry and Robert”.
Dr Spire further urged the public to disregard the disinformation that may cause unnecessary harm and hatred to others. Let John rest.
