A man hanged himself at the Joshua Mqabuko International Airport on Thursday after booking onto a flight to Johannesburg.
Details of the incident were unclear, however a passenger on the early evening FastJet trip to South Africa reported that the man was assigned seat 15A on flight FN8663.
He arrived at the airport and checked in. For whatever reason, he walked to the male restroom and hanged himself. “He appears to have had a rope,” the traveller told ZimLive.
