Britain's deputy high commissioner dies of heart attack at Lagos airport

BRITAIN'S deputy high commissioner to Nigeria
Peter Leslie Carter has died of a heart attack after
slumping and at the Murtala Muhammad
International Airport in Lagos.
Mr Carter had just arrived in Nigeria aboard a Delta
Airlines from Atlanta, Georgia, where he had gone
on an official trip when he passed away. His sudden
death caused uproar at the airport as many feared
that he may have died of the deadly ebola virus
disease currently ravaging the country.
However, he was later confirmed to have died of
heart attack and his remains were taken to a private
hospital where he was officially declared dead.
Eyewitnesses at the airport said that the medical
personnel attached to the international terminal tried
to revive him but without success.
Apparently, as he entered the arrival hall, Mr Carter
began holding to his chest and screaming my heart
and then subsequently slumped before health
personnel could reach him. Very passionate about
Nigeria, Mr Carter travelled the country extensively,
meeting several governors as he toured the states.
