Heartbreaking photos of a student who died while reenacting the crucifixion of Jesus on Good Friday, which is celebrated as the anniversary of Jesus’ crucifixion in Christianity, were shared. Audiences first thought it was part of the show when 25-year-old Suel Ambrose suddenly fell to the ground. The sad truth came out later.
A play called The Passion of the Christ was performed at Claritian University in Nigeria. Philosophy student Suel Ambrose played the role of St. Peter in the play.
After the scene where St. Peter cuts off the soldier’s ear to protect Jesus, Ambrose suddenly collapsed to the ground. At first, the audience thought Ambrose’s downfall was part of the play. However, they soon noticed that the young man was bleeding and rushed to his aid.
The student, who was stated to have dreams of becoming a priest after graduating from university, died in the hospital where he was taken.
“PART OF THE GAME CRATE”
An eyewitness on campus said that “everyone got together and rushed the student to the school hospital” before his condition worsened and he was taken to another medical center.
Speaking to Vanguard, the witness said, “As we learned from the hospital, he has not survived,” and added:
“At first we thought it was a joke and part of the game. We realized it was a serious issue when he couldn’t stand up and was later hospitalized.”
The university did not share any further information regarding the tragic event.
