Autopsy show Otieno Kajwang' died of heart attack

Nairobi, Kenya: The late Senator Otieno Kajwang' died of heart attack, post-mortem results show. Pathologists have also said there was a previous scar on Kajwang's heart but his death resulted from a different one.

However, Siaya Senator James Orengo, who is also the nominated National Burial Committee Chairman, said the report is not conclusive and further investigations on the cause of the senator's death would be done.

"The report released by the pathologists is not conclusive. We will conduct more examinations to find out the exact cause of the death then we will release the information in due course," said Orengo.

He also said Kajwang's body fluids, tissues and blood would be shipped to The University of Pretoria for further examinations.

"With the permission of the family, we are going to ship the blood, body tissues and fluids to the University of Pretoria so that we get the exact cause of the senator's death," he said.

Orengo also said Kajwang' had broken fore-ribs, bruises on the right side of his chest, a massive erosion in the stomach and a dislocation of one of the ribs.

"All these injuries need to be dated so that we find out when they occurred," he said.

The late senator will be buried on November 28.
