A Nairobi woman died on Thursday morning after spending the night at a city lodging with her brother-in-law.
The 42-year-old woman, who was a resident of Kasarani, is said to have been pronounced dead on arrival at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) where she was rushed after developing complications.
Police said in a statement that her brother-in-law, who is 45 years old, had traveled from Malindi to Nairobi the previous day.
On arrival in the city, at around 7:30 pm, he met with his sister-in-law and booked lodging at Graceland Hotel along Dubois Road where they spent the night.
“The woman developed complications and started coughing and vomiting,” the police statement reads in part.
The brother-in-law hired a taxi and rushed her to Kenyatta National Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival and the matter reported at Central Police Station under OB14/24/9/2020.
The body is being preserved at the hospital’s mortuary awaiting for autopsy as the police investigate the cause of death.
