Archbishop Lwanga died on Saturday and on Monday, a postmortem report revealed that he had succumbed to a heart attack caused by a blood clot.
But unlike many, the Prelate’s final resting place is not outside in a grave yard- It will be inside Rubaga Cathedral, the parent Cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kampala.
This designated burial location is inside Rubaga Cathedral, on the right-hand side, more precisely, between the graves of Dr. Joseph Kiwanuka and Bishop Edward Michaud.
Dr. Kiwanuka served as the Archbishop of Rubaga from 1961 until the time of his death in 1966, while Bishop Michaud served as the apostolic vicar in Tabora, Tanzania before being transferred to Uganda in 1932. He later died in 1945.
