Student found dead in dormitory bed

Panic gripped Kipsoen Secondary school community after a student was found dead in a dormitory yesterday morning.

The Form Two student was discovered lying dead in his bed.

School Principal Christopher Serem said the boy, who had been sickly, was found by his colleagues lying in an unusual position on his bed and alerted the school administration.

"The boy has been suffering from epilepsy and had been on medication but unfortunately we lost him," he said, adding that a day before the incident, the boy had been in a jovial mood, playing with other students and had shown no signs of ailing.

Keiyo OCPD Fredrick Ochieng said the body had been moved to a local mortuary.
