An elder who doubled as an assistant pastor at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Ketitui, Kenya, 60-year-old David Kiplangat, has met an untimely death while enjoying an evening with a female companion in a lodging in Kapsoit, Kenya’s Kericho.
Kiplangat was believed to have dropped dead after having some intimacy with his partner.
The woman reportedly noticed that something was wrong with the man at some point and promptly notified the management of the accommodation before taking to her heels.
Belgut sub-county police commander Charles Kibati reportedly confirmed the incident, revealing that Kiplangat was found dead with no visible injuries and without any clothes on. A used condom was discovered at the scene.
He was found dead with no visible injuries. He had no clothes at the time,” he is quoted to have said.
The body has been transported to the Kericho County Referral Hospital mortuary, where an autopsy is scheduled to be conducted.
Meanwhile, investigators are diligently pursuing leads to locate and identify the woman who was with Kiplangat.
This tragic occurrence is not the first of its kind in the region. In a similar incident last year, a Catholic priest from St. Peters Ruai died under mysterious circumstances in a hotel.
The priest, accompanied by a woman described as his girlfriend, was rushed to the hospital after feeling unwell. However, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
In the earlier case, the police report indicated that the priest’s girlfriend had notified the hotel management when he began feeling dizzy and unconscious.
The priest died in his car, with white foam oozing from his mouth and nose.
The body was later moved to Mater Hospital mortuary in Nairobi for autopsy, with the food and drinks consumed during their night out subjected to investigative analysis.
Investigations are ongoing to unravel the mysteries behind these unfortunate events.
