A middle-aged man from Mwanza in Tanzania died on Monday, January 18 while spending time with his longtime lover in a lodging facility, Mwanza Regional Police Commander Jumanne Muliro says.

The incident happened at Fimbo Lodge in Ilemela in Mwanza Region.

The owner of the lodging facility, Christopher Lyang’ombe, confirmed the incident to Mwananchi Newspaper, directing the publication to seek more information from authorities in Mwanza Region.

Mwanza Regional police boss, Jumanne, said law enforcement officers are holding in custody the woman who was with the now-deceased in the guest room.

“The woman [name withheld] told us that the deceased was her longtime lover. She further said he died shortly after intimacy. Preliminary investigations indicate that the deceased had blood pressure problems,” said Jumanne.

The incident comes a few days after an 80-year-old man from Goba in Dar es Salaam died during sex with a 33-year-old woman. The incident happened at Mbezi Garden Hotel.
