Two United Methodists are among several people who died recently in Greenville in Sinoe County after eating food at a funeral. The cause of deaths are still under investigation but the Liberian government has ruled out Ebola.
The Rev. Snoh Myers, district superintendent of the United Methodist Sinoe District, said a third United Methodist remains in critical condition.
Dr. Francis Karteh, a United Methodist and Liberia?s chief medical officer, said that as of April 27, 10 of the 18 people affected by the food had died.
?We are running several tests and applying several theories, but this is definitely not an Ebola outbreak,? Karteh said.
Karteh said the incident was triggered by food the victims reportedly ate after the funeral. ?The Health Ministry and other health entities are deeply involved in this study and will announce the real cause of the Greenville deaths soon,? he emphasized.
The one United Methodist still sick is at home because he is afraid to go to the hospital, said the Rev. Snoh Myers, district superintendent of the Sinoe District in the Liberia Episcopal Area.
The three United Methodists are from the Nimely Nah United Methodist Church and the St. John United Methodist Church in Sinoe County, southern Liberia. Julietta Sims and Uriah Moore died. The third member affected is Abraham Moore.
