A retired consultant doctor who worked at Lewisham Hospital has died from coronavirus.
Dr Eric Labeja-Acellam, who was originally from Uganda, passed away on March 31 at King's College Hospital at the age of 75.
His wife Jennifer Lawala, a well-known musician in Uganda, and their son have also contracted the virus, according to the Observer (Uganda).
Dr Acellam was being cared for at their Oval home after suffering a stroke in early March.
His wife said she suspects he caught the virus from his carer, who was unknowingly infected while still seeing patients, the Mirror reports.
Ms Lawala also spent time in intensive care with the illness, at St Thomas' Hospital, where she later received a call from a nurse who told her that her husband had died.
She is now recovering at home with her son.
