The family of a footballer who died in Meru is appealing for help to pay a Sh2.5 million hospital bill to enable the hospital to release his body for burial.

Dominic Maingi, 24, who died on October 12 at St Theresa's Mission Hospital, was the first choice goalkeeper for Ngiine FC, a club that plays in the Meru league sanctioned by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF).
