A Universal Church Kingdom of God (UCKG) worshipper died yesterday during the church service.

Persons in the vicinity of the Brazilian church said that after the man collapsed around 8.30 pm, members summoned an ambulance which responded and attempted to administer medical aid. However, the man had already passed away and they then summoned  a hearse.
