JOHANNESBURG - The body of Uganda's King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi the Fourth has returned to the country after his death in the United States at the age of 34.
He was receiving treatment in the US for cancer.
President Yoweri Museveni received the casket at Entebbe Airport.
King Oyo became ruler of the Tooro Kingdom at the age of three following the death of his father in 1995.
He reigned for 31 years and was recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's youngest reigning monarch.
Uganda's traditional kings have mainly cultural roles with limited political powers.
King Oyo will be buried next week.
