A staff member at Bolorunduro in Ondo East Local Government Area of Ondo State, identified as Matthew, has reportedly passed away at his office.
It was learnt on Saturday that the worker initially slumped at his office before he eventually died.
The resident of Elemosi in Ondo town reportedly arrived at work on Friday before having breakfast in his car parked within the LGA.
However, shortly after resuming work for the day and engaging in discussions with his colleagues, he suddenly collapsed and attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
“He had no sign of ailment at all. This is shocking to us. We had to rush him to the hospital at Bolorunduro but doctors confirmed that he was dead on arrival. His death is just beyond our imagination,” a colleague of the deceased who pleaded anonymity confided in newsmen.
One of the family sources, however, revealed that the immediate family of the deceased was planning burial rites.
Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, confirmed the incident to journalists, explaining that the police were investigating the circumstances around the death of the deceased, stressing that his remains had been deposited at the hospital’s morgue.
