A video circulating on social media depicts an unconscious man aboard a public transport vehicle commonly referred to as a "trotro."

The specific destination of the bus is not clear from the video.

But according to reports, the man tragically passed away while seated in the moving vehicle.

The bus conductor (mate), initially tried to wake the man up, thinking he might be asleep, but received no response.

It was at that point that both the bus conductor and the passengers came to the unsettling realization that they were traveling alongside a deceased individual.

The cause of death is unknown but some social media users are asserting that the man gave up due to the current hardship in the economy while others are just speechless over the shock of event.
