Francois Masasu, a 32-year-old resident of Gicumbi District in Northern Province, was discovered lifeless, hanging from a rope in his residence, with authorities suspecting suicide.

The tragic incident occurred on the evening of January 30, 2024, in Gatungo village, Ryaruyumba cell, Manyagiro sector, Gicumbi district.

According to sources close to the family, the deceased had been expressing feelings of isolation in the days leading up to the incident, stating that the world was turning away from him.

The distressing discovery was made by his wife when she found him hanging from a rope above their house shortly after giving birth to their second born.

Parfaite Uwera, Acting Mayor of Gicumbi District, has confirmed the incident and urged people to share their challenges with others early on to facilitate timely support.

Reports from neighbors indicate that Masasu had traveled to Uganda in July 2021 and returned in July 2023, displaying signs of mental health issues upon his return.
