Ugandan King who became monarch at age 3 di£s aged 34

The traditional Ugandan ruler named as the world’s youngest monarch has di£d aged 34, his prime minster announced. 
Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV was just three years old when he became king of Tooro in western Uganda in 1995 after the de@th of his father. 
The cause of King Oyo’s de@th was not disclosed, but a Ugandan government minister was quoted in local media saying that he had been critically ill and was seeking treatment in the US. 
Oyo, who Guinness World Records listed as the world’s youngest reigning monarch, ruled over more than two million people. 
He was the 13th monarch of his kingdom. 
Announcing his de@th, Tooro’s Prime Minister Calvin Armstrong Rwomiire Akiiki called his passing on Thursday, August 27, an “immeasurable loss” to the royal family and the people of Tooro. 
“I call upon all the people of Tooro to remain united, calm and prayerful during this profoundly difficult time,” Akiiki said on Friday. “May His Majesty the King rest in eternal peace.” 
The Tooro Kingdom follows a hereditary system in selecting its monarch. 
Oyo was not officially married, but Akiiki said “the continuity of the Crown is assured”. 
“His Majesty leaves behind a Prince as his heir, whose identity will be formally revealed at the appropriate time, in accordance with the traditions and customs of Tooro Kingdom,” he explained. 
When he became king in 1995 a regency, including the queen mother, was established until Oyo turned 18 when there was an official coronation.
