It was a tragic end for a Mozambican pastor, Francisco Barajah, who reportedly died after fasting for 40 days, in an attempt to replicate what the Biblical Jesus Christ did.
He died while being treated at hospital in Beira where he was evacuated in critical condition, according to BBC report.
The founder of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church in the central province of Manica, was confirmed dead on Wednesday.
TRIBUNE ONLINE gathered the clergyman had lost a lot of weight to a point where he could not stand up, bathe or walk after 25 days of fasting.
Days later, at the insistence of relatives and believers, he was taken to a hospital but attempts to get him back to life were unsuccessful.
Church members and his neighbours have been unsurprised at the turn of events, due to his extreme weight loss and disfigured body frame prior to his death.
