His corpse has been buried in a forest. The boy’s family is reportedly “too scared” to attend his funeral for fear of being contracting the virus
“I was there with him just before he died…I had been feeding him milk. I stepped away, just for a short break, but then I was called back and he was dead. I was totally devastated,” said Adele Millimouno, a
