The family of former Busia Deputy Governor Moses Mulomi has announced that he passed away due to cardiac arrest.
Mulomi, who held the position of second deputy governor of Busia, died unexpectedly on Wednesday while traveling in Nakuru.
According to his family, an autopsy performed on Friday morning confirmed that he died from cardiac arrest.
“Yesterday, we went through the necessary procedures with the DCI and police. His body was preserved at Umash Funeral Home in Nakuru, and today we conducted a postmortem, which confirmed that Mulomi suffered cardiac arrest,” a brother of the deceased shared with the media in Nakuru.
Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating, halting blood flow throughout the body.
This interruption can lead to loss of consciousness, disability, or even death if not addressed immediately.
The family indicated that Mulomi’s body will be transported to Lifecare Hospital in Bungoma for preservation as they make burial arrangements.
“We are relieved that Mulomi is now on his way back from Nakuru, accompanied by many family members,” his brother remarked, highlighting Mulomi’s significant role in the family as more of a parent than just an elder sibling.
“Our parents passed away 25 years ago, and he took on the role of a foster parent, caring for our extended family with immense dedication and sacrifice.”
In a message of condolence released on Thursday, Busia Governor Paul Otuoma extended his wishes for God’s grace to Mulomi’s family as they cope with his unexpected loss.
“As a county, we share in their sorrow and will consult with the family to determine the arrangements for giving our brother a dignified farewell,” he stated.
Kakamega Governor Ferdinand Barasa also expressed his condolences, recognizing Mulomi as a distinguished professional who dedicated many years of service to the nation.
