Durban – A Durban widow has passionately called for the return of the phone of her late husband, who allegedly disappeared while hospitalized.
Latasha Naidoo, 49, of Asherville, claims her husband Kevin’s cell phone was not returned to her after he passed away at Ahmed Al-kadi Hospital in Mayville after suffering cardiac arrest on December 26.
Since then, it has offered a reward of R10,000 for the return of the phone. A notice was sent to all hospital staff.
Naidoo said the phone contained not only years of memories, but also important information related to her husband’s business.
“We are devastated by the passing of my husband. It is not the phone that concerns me, but its content. Kevin conducted his business from his phone. He was a shipping and logistics broker. Maybe I would like to continue the business. But I need that phone. I have two children to support and my elderly mother-in-law.
“The day my husband passed away, we went to get his car and other belongings, including his wallet with money. He had two phones with him, however they only gave me one back last week. The hospital staff do not know the whereabouts of the other phone, ”said an excited Naidoo.
She said she last spoke to her husband via video call on that same phone on the morning of December 13 before he was transferred to a high-care facility due to shortness of breath.
Kevin was admitted to the hospital on December 8 with Covid. They put him on a fan on the 14th.
“I went to the hospital to see him on the 20th in the ICU. I asked the nurse caring for Kevin for their phones. He opened a drawer next to him, but there were no phones. He said don’t worry, phones should be in the locker, ”Naidoo said.
Ebrahim Asmal, the hospital director, said the hospital investigated the matter thoroughly.
“He allegedly had two phones with him, however, only one was located and handed over to Ms. Naidoo in person,” he said.
Asmal said a notice offering the reward was designed by the hospital team and sent to all departments, as well as posted on bulletin boards.
“Ms. Naidoo requested that her information be included in the notice as a direct contact person,” he said.
Asmal added that, like any other hospital, it discouraged patients from bringing valuables and asked family members to take them away in case the patient felt unwell and could not take care of their belongings.
