In August 2016, His Lordship Archbishop Samuel Kleda who sent him to France ordered his return to Cameroon for other missions, but for reasons undisclosed to the public, the Priest refused to obey.
However, Monseigneur Xavier Malle of France acknowledged the fact the Priest was sick and undergoing medical treatment for an undisclosed illness.
What pushed him to commit suicide, is the question on the lips of everyone.
Dear Rev. Fr. Antoine De Padoue Chonang,
whatever pushed you to hasten your exit from this earth, God alone knows. May His Mercies accompany you to the land of no sorrow and troubles in Jesus Name. Amen.
RIP Padre
