Pain and Suffering may have prompted Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore to seek mercy killing, Cyprian Nyakundi can report.
Mercy Killing is also referred to as Euthanasia or Assisted Suicide.
Medical sources define euthanasia as the act of bringing about the death of a hopelessly ill and suffering person in a relatively quick and painless way for reasons of mercy.
Voluntary euthanasia is euthanasia that is provided for a competent person with his informed consent. Involuntary euthanasia is euthanasia performed without a person's consent.
Assisted suicide is to provide the means whereby a suffering person may kill himself.
Another source that spoke to nyakundireport.com told us that Bob Collymore's suffering had become ''too much" as confirmed by Safaricom Chairman Mr. Ng'ang'a who said that his health had deteriorated in the last 'few' weeks.
His family was invited and simply waited for the day, as he wrote down his will and indicated how he wanted to be buried.
The same source confirmed that doctors had told Mr. Bob Collymore that his situation had deteriorated, and would need to be bed-ridden to buy a few months, an idea Bob Seriously opposed. "He could not imagine himself under machines to buy-off a few weeks or months.
Many patients suffering from cancer usually go into a coma before death, but a jovial Bob laughed as he waited for his day with some media idiots claiming Bob was a "prophet" that knew when he would die.
Our source also alluded that the cremation was to destroy any evidence in case people wanted to question anything. No post-mortem was done.
Bob fought a good fight but that is life. We pray for his family in these hard times.
