On 8 June 2020, the 55-year-old Hutu President of Burundi Pierre Nkurunziza died unexpectedly and very suddenly “following a cardiac arrest”.
Nkurunziza appeared to be in good health.
Maybe it isn’t that “unexpected” to some “conspiracy theorists”…
Nkurunziza refused to impose corona restrictions on Burundi, allowing sports and political rallies.
On 12 May, the Burundian government expelled the World Health Organization (WHO) because – according to Nkurunziza - COVID-19 is a false pandemic and declared WHO representatives “persona non grata” in Burundi:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/09/burundi-president-dies-illness-suspected-coronavirus-pierre-nkurunzizAnother possible motive for killing him, is that Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza might have contradicted the official story on: 1) the Rwanda genocide; and 2) the plundering of the Congo.
I searched hard, but couldn’t find anything...
There was a lot tension between President Nkurunziza and Rwanda President Paul Kagame, as they both claimed that the other was supporting rebel groups (terrorists) in their own country.
Personally I think that Kagame from the Tutsi minority, who after orchestrating the Rwanda genocide, has ruled Rwanda with an iron fist, is a psychopath and pathological liar, so don’t believe anything he says...
Pierre Nkurunziza and Paul Kagame were once on good terms. This changed in November 2012, when Nkurunziza disagreed that Kagame was supporting the M23 rebel (terrorist) group in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
See Paul Kagame and Pierre Nkurunziza before their disagreement.
In April 2015, President Pierre Nkurunziza announced to run for a third term as president, which was in violation of the Arusha agreement that Nkurunziza’s party had never agreed to.
Paul Kagame and other international politicians (including Barack Obama) spoke out against this decision by Nkurunziza.
On 13 May 2015, a bloody coup was staged in Burundi, led by Godefroid Niyombare.
More than 400 people were killed and more than 200,000 Burundians fled to neighbouring countries, mainly Rwanda and Tanzania.
The coup failed and Nkurunziza was re-elected president.
The Burundi government, including Nkurunziza and Burundi's Foreign Minister Alain Nyamitwe, accused Kagame of sheltering Niyombare and helping rebels attack Burundi from Rwanda.
They also accused Rwanda from aiding the anti-Nkurunziza media campaign (through radio stations like the RPA and TV Renaissance) operating in Kigali.
A February 2016 confidential report of the United Nations confirms that Rwanda recruited and trained Burundian refugees from the Mahama camp.
More armed attacks came in July 2015 and December 2015 in Burundi, probably supported by the Rwandan Defense Forces and the Rwandan authorities.
In November 2015, Paul Kagame accused Nkurunziza of setting the ground for a possible genocide by staying in power of Burundi.
Kagame has accused the Burundian government of hosting the FDLR (Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda) and helping it to move freely between Burundi and Congo.
In May 2018, 26 people were killed in Ruhagarika, in the west of Burundi. The attack was led by Alexis Sinduhije, who lives alternatively in the Congo and Rwanda:
