"As a cancer patient, we knew she was not very far from death, but we didn't know she would die now from pulmonary hypertension." Khalwale said.
He revealed that the deceased just stopped breathing and closed her eyes in death on Saturday morning, marking the end of her long battle with cancer.
"She just stopped breathing," Khalwale added.
The vocal politician revealed that a week ago, the deceased developed pulmonary hypertension that resulted in her death.
"A sad morning. Death has just robbed my first wife". Khalwale posted shortly after Adelaide breathed her last.

Prior to her death, she worked as a secretary at Masinde Muliro University.
Her body was taken to Mukumu Hospital morgue.
