A 34-year-old man named John Bosco Osano was discovered dead inside a pit latrine in Ndhiwa, Homa Bay County. His family reported him missing on August 5, 2026, and his body was found eight days later on August 14. Osano's decomposing body was found at the homestead of a local in Pala ‘B’ village, Lower Kabonyo Location, located about four kilometers south of Ndhiwa Police Station.

Two 13-year-old children playing near the homestead noticed a strong odor emanating from the pit latrine, which alerted others to the scene. The cause of death has not been determined yet, and the police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding his death. The body was processed, documented, and taken to the Homa Bay County Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary for preservation before a postmortem examination could be conducted.
