The 61-year old former air force captain succumbed to Covid-19 and acute pneumonia after a month in the hospital. He was admitted to hospital after complaining of difficulty in breathing and coughing and was tested positive for the deadly respiratory virus.

Doctors said they did everything they could to save Toh’s life, but his liver, kidney and heart were most affected by the disease.

Toh’s family, who now lives in Lipa City in Batangas, thanked all those who prayed for him, including Kusug Tausug Rep. Shernee Tambut for her financial assistance.
