In memoriam - Death of Felix Marnewecke

[gizmo]

I am very sad to see that Felix Marnewecke passed. I’m not sure what happened, anyone with any information please feel free to add information. I saw one post that alluded he may have been killed in the field but I DO NOT know this to be true and certainly don’t want to spread misinformation.
At any rate, my sincere condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace sir.

I see Felix was nearly killed by a buffalo back in 2012. Wonder what happened to him.

I see some condoences up on Facebook but nothing indicating death from mishap. He was quite well known and respected in African hunting circles.

I had just seen a post saying he had “died doing what he loved”. I don’t know.

Felix contracted Typhoid Fever down in the Bongo areas. He died while being transported to a hospital in Douala.

He survived an ambush by a cape buff only to die from a treatable, preventable, bacterial organism. This is even more heartbreaking.

Sad. That is one vaccine I am always current on.

He may have been up on his vax. According to WHO website, the vaccine is not 100% effective.
