Student collapses and dies during Good Friday crucifixion re-enactment as audience ‘think it’s part of the show’

A STUDENT collapsed and died during a re-enactment of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion on Good Friday.

Audience members reportedly thought it was part of the show when philosophy student Suel Ambrose, 25, suddenly fell to the ground.

But horrified witnesses then realised he was bleeding and rushed to his side.

First-year student Suel, 25, was playing the role of St Peter in the traditional staging of the Passion at Clariantian University in Nigeria.

He fell to the ground after the biblical scene where he cuts the ear of one of the soldiers in an effort to prevent Jesus’ arrest.

He was taken to hospital but he could not be saved.

A witness at the university told Vanguard: “Initially when it happened we thought it was a joke, and that it was part of the drama.

“It was when he could not get up that was when we knew it was a serious matter and he was rushed to hospital.”

The witness added: “Everybody came together and rushed the deceased to a school hospital and later, when the case became worse, he was taken to a nearly Federal Medical Center.

“It was from there we heard he could not survive it.”

Suel hoped to train to be become a priest after graduating, friends said.

Meanwhile, a new analysis claims it has solved the mystery of Jesus Christ’s “fatal injury”. 

Doctor-turned-priest Patrick Pullicino believes Jesus may have ultimately been killed by complications from being stretched on the cross and a spear wound in his shoulder.

The Bible details how Jesus fell while being forced to carry his cross to Calvary before a Roman soldier pierced his side with a spear.

Scholars believe Jesus very likely dislocated his right shoulder when he fell, burdened by the weight of the wooden cross.
