It was gathered that the residents of the area speculated that the late Nataala might have died due to his frustration over the non- payment of his salaries.
PUNCH Metro gathered on Monday that the lecturer received his salary last in July 2017.
According to sources , his inability to meet up with his financial needs had been a source of concern to him .
However, the Public Relations Officer of the institution , Luke Tijan, debunked residents ' speculations.
The institution ' s spokesman told PUNCH Metro that the lecturer, who was earlier operated upon for ruptured appendicitis, died from complication arising from the operation .
