Security guards manning the area approached her to offer help which she declined as she had apparently called a friend.
Later, Ogutu was seen sleeping in the vehicle with the window pushed down a little bit. On opening the door, the nurse was unresponsive.
Efforts to revive her proved futile.
Her body was moved to a funeral home in Bedford where a medical examination was conducted. The cause of death has been listed as “pending”.

Two months ago, Dr Lydia Wahura Kanyoro, a post-graduate student in Pediatrics at the University of Nairobi (UoN) School of Medicine, took her own life at the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) parking lot.
According to her colleagues, Dr Wahura could have taken her life due to mental illness common among Post-grad students.
“The work load and academic demands for some of the doctors pursuing further studies are sometimes unbearable. Medicine is very tough and challenging and the sad thing is that doctors know what to take to easily end their lives,” said a colleague who sought anonymity.
