He further explained that after the actor’s corpse was recovered from the sea, his remains were taken to the River Shrine and was confirmed dead.
In an attempt to revive him, his colleagues took him to the hospital where he was also confirmed dead by the doctor on duty. However, his colleagues made the decision to put him on a life support at the hospital with the hope that a miracle may bring him to life.
” Those videos was when we were trying everything possible to see if we can revive him but I can confirm that unless a miracle happens in the hospital tonight, Junior pope is dead.” The source told our reporter.
