How does Uncle Tommy die? And how, if at all, is his death facilitated or even triggered by the civil war fighting that has reached Freetown and its environs?

Uncle Tommy becomes ill with a fever. He couldn't keep any food down, the hospitals were closed, and the family couldn't get a doctor to their home. Uncle Tommy died as a result of this illness, but we are given no other details or diagnosis. I'm not sure about your second question.
