Health officers dressed in personal protective equipment fumigated the body before it was loaded onto a police van and taken to a Nairobi morgue.
The cause of the man’s death remains unclear. However, speculation was rife among onlookers that he might have succumbed to Covid-19 complications.
The Standard reached Buruburu OCPD, Adamson Bungei, for comment, but he said he was in a meeting and would get back after two minutes.
Our subsequent communication to him went unanswered.
