He was 68.
This newspaper has learnt that in the vicinity of Timehri while on his way to take his wife to the CJIA, he complained of feeling unwell. He reportedly stopped the car and vomited before collapsing.
Mangal’s wife then screamed for help and a few people came to her aid. However, none of them could have driven the man to the Hospital. A taxi was then summoned to take Mangal to a city Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
As relatives of the deceased visited the location where Mangal collapsed, they discovered that a quantity of cash and Mangal’s licenced firearm which was left in the vehicle were missing.
