An autopsy on the body of popular Instagram influencer Janet Aziza Frisby did not reveal the exact cause of her death. Police said the model passed on Wednesday, October 4 in Nairobi.
Frisby, 28, was found dead in a house she shared with her sister Patricia at Kileleshwa, Nairobi.
An autopsy carried out on her body on Wednesday ruled there was no physical attack on her. It is suspected she died of an overdose. The pathologists picked samples from her body for toxicology tests.
This will tell if she died of an overdose of the drink she was taking. The tests will further tell if the alcohol had any other substance, officials said. The body was flown to Tanzania for burial as the entertainment industry mourned the death.
Her body was found on her bed on Wednesday morning long after she had died. She had vomited, police said.
Frisby is of mixed-race, with British and Tanzanian roots and had seen a rise in social media appeal since 2017. Her roommate told police she had been taking drinks with the deceased and other friends before they retired on Tuesday night.
