A 66-year-old man was discovered deceased in a family water tank in Kisii, with authorities suspecting suicide.
According to police, the man, identified as Vincent Okenye, is thought to have leaped into the underground tank, which holds 10,000 liters of water, located in Nyakoe.
At the time of the incident, the tank was filled with water for household use.
His family found his body on March 5, well after the tragic event had occurred.
The reasons behind this incident remain unclear, and police are currently conducting an investigation.
The body has since been retrieved and sent to a local mortuary for an autopsy and further examination.
There has been a noticeable increase in suicide cases, prompting urgent calls for measures to tackle this growing issue.
