Dr Apiyo says Mowzey was bleeding in the brain when he was
brought to Case hospital. She reveals that the singer immediately went
under the knife to stop the bleeding in his brain.
“A CT scan showed bleeding in the brain and emergency
surgery was done that same night to remove the clot,” said Dr Apiyo.

“He seemed to be making progress (after the surgery) and was
removed from mechanical ventilation . On Saturday he was put back on mechanical
ventilation because his situation was deteriorating,” Dr Apiyo explained.
Radio’s body was taken to Mulago Hospital for postmortem.
