According to witnesses, the dead all complained of stomachaches before dying. These three cascading deaths foreshadow a possible epidemic since the victims did not share a meal on the day of their death.

By Mariama Mamady Camara - February 27, 2019 1:30

Three teenagers of the same family in the district of Djomandou, sub-prefecture of Damaro, prefecture of K?rouan?, died, one after the other and in the space of one hour of time, after complaining terrible abdominal pain on the night of Monday 25 to Tuesday 26 February. The victims Lonc?ny Kourouma, Morioul?n Kourouma and Bangaly Kourouma were respectively 8 years old for the first two and 20 years old.

On the circumstances of this tragedy, the sub-prefect of Damaro, Moussa Camara said: "According to the family of victims, it was around 20 hours that Lonc?ny and Morioul?n started complaining of stomachaches. While the older Bangaly was still walking with his friends in a nearby area. Immediately, the parents decided to send the two children to the Damaro health center which is 14km away. Along the way, the two children died. Meanwhile, their older brother, who was still with friends, was also beginning to complain about the same pain. It was in a state of unconsciousness that he was brought back to his family where he died a few moments later. "

As for the chief medical officer of the Damaro Health Center, Dr Alpha Camara who received the bodies of the first two kids, he reports that the examinations carried out on them could not determine the causes of their deaths. However, he points out that all the deceased brothers had the same symptoms. That is, dizziness and abdominal pain followed by loss of consciousness.

As for the psychoses of an epidemic which have taken hold of the population of the localities of Damaro and K?rouan?, Dr. Phili Mara, who is the doctor in charge of diseases in the Prefectural Health Department of K?rouan?, excludes all epidemic thesis. Since, he argues, the children showed no symptoms of an epidemic.

In addition, it should be noted that the bodies of these three children were buried by local Red Cross agents. Meanwhile, the health authorities are pushing the investigations to establish the real causes of these three cases of death.
