The student of Aisaik Secondary School in Bomet who was found dead in his dorm died of cardiac arrest, post-mortem results have revealed.
The examination was carried out at the Tenwek Hospital in the presence of her family and education officials.
The family expressed satisfaction with the exercise, saying they are now ready to commence burial plans.
“We agree with the results. It is painful to lose a girl who had a bright future but we accept the will of God,” said a family representative.
Medical records indicate that the deceased, who was found dead in her bed, had no history of sickness.
County Director of Education Leonard Ngugi confirmed the matter, noting that the student had only complained of some pain on Wednesday evening.
“The student complained that she was not feeling well. She did not wake up for preps at 3am as usual and when other students examined her, they found that she could not move. It’s then that they raised the alarm and she was rushed to Tenwek Hospital, where she was confirmed dead,” said Ngugi.
The 19-year old form four student has been described as a disciplined, hardworking and God-fearing child.
A somber mood engulfed the schools following the incident, with education officials sending their condolences to the family and school.
