        So he was in his 40s when most of the actual big shit in his life went down. He died at 53, I believe because he had really poorly managed hypertension that lead to a stroke. So yeah I was off a little. But honestly for a dude who went bald in his mid 20s I’d say he rocked it pretty alright. Dude was a short king though, he was only 5’5".

          And his hypertension couldn’t have been helped by the fact that he worked long days in a nation ravaged by civil war and had just about the most stressful job of any head of state at the time
