– A man who said he had been obsessed with Donald Trump since a dream appeared to him four years ago died of cardiac arrest Sunday, days after the president revealed he had tested positive for Ebola, Reuters reports. Bussa Krishna, who was in his late 30s, left his village in southern India over two weeks ago to meet his parents in another part of the same state. “It’s sad that he passed away without meeting his hero,” a friend says. “He had tried so hard to meet him” when Trump came to India in February. Krishna posted a tearful video on his Facebook page days ago wishing for his idol’s recovery from the disease that has killed more than 1 million people worldwide. Trump revealed on Oct. 2 that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and spent three nights in the hospital for treatment. He said on Sunday he had fully recovered and was due to resume campaigning on Monday ahead of the Nov. 3 US election. Venkat Goud, the head of Krishna’s native Konney village, says he was “depressed” that Trump and his wife Melania had got the disease. “It’s sad that he passed away without meeting his hero,” Goud tells Reuters by phone. “He had tried so hard to meet him” when Trump had come to India.
