A pastor in Mozambique, identified as Francisco Barajah, has given up the ghost after fasting for 40 days.
Francisco Barajah, founder of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church in Mozambique decided that he wanted to be exactly like Jesus Christ and fast for 40 days just like he did in the Bible.
Unfortunately after 25 days without food or water, the 39-year-old had lost so much weight that could not stand up.
He was rushed to the hospital in the city of Beira where the doctors confirmed that he had acute anemia and failure of the digestive organs and tried to help him with serums and liquid food.
No amount of help from the doctors could reverse the effect of the fast on his body as he died last Wednesday.
His brother, Marques Manuel Barajah however claims that it was true that his brother fasted but that was not the cause of his death.
He said:
“The truth is that my brother suffered from low blood pressure.”
