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.

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