The association described the deceased as “a colleague, friend, roommate, and a Part 4 medical student with an undeniably bright future until the time of his passing”.


“This incident is not only sad, but crucially painful as we lost a rising star and a loving member of the IFUMSA family. In honoring his dearest memories, we kindly ask the general public to do without speculations and respect the privacy of the family during this vulnerable period.”

May his soul rest in peace, Amen.
