Police in Kasarani are investigating the death of a man who succumbed to injuries several days after allegedly falling from the second floor of a residential building along TRM Drive.
According to the police, the incident was reported on June 5, 2026.
The family stated that they received a phone call on May 31 at about 1:00 a.m. informing them that their brother, Harrison Langat, was at Club Covo in the company of a man identified only as Collins and was heavily intoxicated.
Concerned about his condition, they requested one of them to pick him up from the club and take him home.
Upon arriving at the residence, the friend reportedly realized he had left the house keys downstairs and briefly left Harrison alone.
While downstairs, he was informed that his roommate had jumped from the second floor and was lying unconscious on the ground.
Harrison was rushed to Jesse Kay Hospital for emergency treatment before being referred to Kenyatta University Referral Hospital for specialized care. He remained hospitalized until June 4, 2026, when he succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment.
Police have launched investigations to establish the circumstances surrounding the fall and determine whether any foul play was involved. The body is expected to undergo a post-mortem examination as part of the ongoing inquiry.
