Police are probing the death of Frankline Ondwari, a 27-year-old University of Nairobi student, whose body was discovered in a toilet on Kirinyaga Road, Nairobi.

The grim find took place in the apartment he shared with a friend, where his decomposing body was found hanging from a window.

Frankline had been missing since July 17, a day when he left his mobile phone charging and did not return. His friend, alarmed by a persistent foul smell coming from the toilet, made the shocking discovery while investigating the source of the odour.

The scene has raised serious concerns among authorities and the community. As the investigation unfolds, police have yet to ascertain the circumstances surrounding Ondwari’s death.

His body has been sent to the Nairobi Funeral Home for an autopsy, while detectives work to gather more information on the case. The lack of clear motives at this stage has left many questions unanswered.

Statistics show that there has been an increase of suicide cases in the country in the recent past. The World Health Organization highlights issues such as depression, substance abuse, and a history of familial suicide as significant risk factors.

Mental health awareness and support systems are crucial in preventing further incidents, emphasizing the need for open conversations about the challenges faced by young individuals today
