“Initially when it happened we thought it was a joke, and that it was part of the drama, it was when he could not get up that was when we knew it was a serious matter and he was rushed to hospital,” the witness added.

‘It was when he could not get up that was when we knew it was a serious matter and he was rushed to a school hospital. Later, when the case became worse, he was taken to a nearly Federal Medical Center. It was from there we heard he could not survive it.’

The cause of Ambrose’s death remains entirely unknown, the seminary confirmed. 

Sule was remembered in a Facebook post by the National Association of Philosophy Students

News of his tragic death follows suggestions by a leading scholar that Jesus died after dislocating his shoulder carrying the cross.

Retired neurologist Patrick Pullicino said Jesus died of complexities related to his shoulder wound, rather than anything else.

The Rev. Prof Pullicino has written a scientific paper about his theory and published it in the Catholic Medical Quarterly.
