A source revealed that the couple had been living together in a one-room apartment and frequently faced conflicts stemming from trust issues and suspected infidelity.
“Both of them had been having issues. The lady accused Michael of cheating on her with another woman, which led to a heated argument. In the course of the fight, she brought out a pair of scissors and st@bbed him in the leg,” the source said.
“Michael was initially taken to a nearby hospital, where he received treatment and was discharged after being administered injections and prescribed medication.
“After being discharged, his condition deteriorated at home. His leg became swollen, and he was rushed back to the hospital on Sunday night. Unfortunately, he passed away despite the doctors’ efforts to save him.”
