FATHER, SON DIE AFTER EATING FISH

A FATHER and son collapsed and died on the way to hospital after eating a fish they had just caught in Indian Ocean waters off of Zanzibar, relatives said. A hospital attendant said the post mortem certificate showed the two had died from eating poisoned food. The fish has since been taken to the hospital’s laboratories for analysis. Fish is the staple food for more than 90% of people living on Zanzibar and Pemba. – AFP
