| Man Drowns Self in Cesspool Over Missing Bike |
| 2003-11-13 |
| A Tanzanian who thought his boss’s bicycle had been stolen while in his care killed himself by diving into a cesspit -- only for a friend to return the bike a little later, a newspaper said Thursday. Timing is everything. Samuel Boniface, 20, committed suicide Tuesday after telling his employer the bicycle had gone missing, police in Dar es Salaam told the Daily Times. Now that is a dedicated employee. Stupid, but dedicated. Shortly after his body was found floating in the cesspool, his friend returned the bicycle, saying he had borrowed it. "Sam, here’s the bike, sorry it took so long. Sam? Hello?" |
