A postmortem report yesterday revealed that he succumbed to a heart attack caused by a blood clot.
Before his death, Dr Lwanga often led prayers at the cathedral, and it is probably why mourners easily find it as the most suitable place to continue showing their last respects to the deceased.
Besides, the cathedral is located near the deceased’s official residence, and according to the tentative programme, he will be buried at the place of worship.
