A news team that spoke to several people familiar with the incident reports that a man from Kwale County died in a guest room after spending the night with a woman believed to be his lover.
Although details remain limited, information gathered from witnesses and local authorities has helped build a clear picture of what happened.
Residents told reporters they saw the man earlier in the evening at a popular entertainment spot. He was in the company of a woman, and the two appeared cheerful as they shared drinks and talked freely.
People who interacted with them said nothing suggested trouble, and the pair left the venue without causing any scene.
According to a staff member at the guest house where they checked in, the couple arrived late and seemed calm.
The receptionist noted that they went straight to their room after completing normal registration procedures.
Staff did not hear any disturbance during the night, and everything appeared normal until the following morning.
Trouble started when workers noticed the room had not been vacated by checkout time. Repeated knocks went unanswered. Management became concerned and used a spare key to enter the room.
Inside, the woman was awake but looked shaken. The man lay on the bed and did not respond when staff tried to wake him.
Police officers who later arrived at the scene confirmed that the man had died. The woman was taken in for questioning to help investigators understand the final hours before his death.
Officers said she appeared confused and repeatedly stated she did not know what had caused the sudden tragedy.
The incident quickly attracted residents who gathered outside the guest house, expressing shock at the news. Many described the man as friendly and said he had been in good health the last time they saw him.
Authorities moved the body to the Kwale mortuary for a post-mortem examination. Investigators said the results will determine whether the death was caused by health complications, an accident, or any form of foul play.
Local leaders urged the public to remain calm and avoid spreading rumors as the investigation continues. They encouraged people to focus on verified information and allow the authorities to complete their work professionally.
As the community waits for the post-mortem results, the incident has sparked conversations about personal safety and the importance of seeking help in uncertain situations.
