He had a rope but I didn’t think anything of it, its in the wee hours of the morning so I’m not going to question him or anything like that.
The dancer added that all her father kept on saying was “I love you, I love you, just know that I love you”.
She continued:
“We wake up in the morning, it’s very strange for my mom not to see her husband but you know we could feel that something was wrong, so my mom was not ok, she felt that something was off. She couldn’t find my dad, we lived in a fairly big house at that time, she looked everywhere and couldn’t find him.
Telling the story while teary ran down her beautiful face, Bontle shared that he mom peeped through a door key hole and saw her husband hanging from a tree.
