"...and now on BBC news the 31 year old who was known to save young children in Eritrea is found dead in his room. Michael Bay reports more on that."

"Thanks Michelle. Romeo Just was known as one of the best humanitarian doctors in Eritrea. His work meant that he helped families with young children by assisting them back to health. He was known as 'Brother Romeo' by many of the locals due to the respect he gained. However, on Thursday night he was found dead in his room after a colleague realized that he was missing. No word yet on what caused his death. But one thing is sure, he was truly loved by the locals. Here is what Imani, a little seven year old girl whom he saved said about him."

"Most people don't know about what's going on here. Brother Romeo understood us and never judged us. He helped me fix my ribs and gave me a new leg. He helped me and my family find a new home. He had many of his own problems but it didn't stop him from helping us. What we see everyday isn't easy to explain and can shock people to not want to help us because they are scared. I'm very sad that he is now gone and that I have lost a friend."
