Moses Talai Chelal, a 54-year-old Uber driver from Ongata Rongai, succumbed to his injuries after collapsing at a bus terminus in Mombasa. On Sunday morning, Chelal was preparing to travel to Nairobi when he suddenly collapsed while seated in a 14-seater matatu. He had initially sought transportation from the Tahmeed Bus Company in Mwembe Tayari, then transferred to a 2NK Luxury Mombasa shuttle.
Chelal reportedly complained of feeling excessively hot before the incident occurred. He was rushed to Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital, but it was too late - he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Police in Embu County are now investigating the death of a laborer named Patrick Murimi Muthike, whose body was found in a bush near Wikase Shopping Centre.
Muthike, a Kikuyu man, had been unwell for some time before his death, and police are still determining the cause of his passing.
