Sierra Leone: Ex VP Sam Sumana is alive in Freetown, not dead in Israel

The Times of Israel is reporting that Sierra Leone’s former Vice President Samuel Sam-Sumana has died after undergoing hip replacement surgery there. However it has been confirmed that Sam Sumana is alive and well in Freetown. Furthermore, he has not traveled outside of Sierra Leone since he was removed from office.
How and why is the Times of Israel reporting this? Was someone impersonating VP Sam-Sumana? We may never know.
ex vice president daughter secretly got married at age 20 in USA without her parents knowledge but whats more interesting is that her so called secret husband got another lady pregnant and ran away.
