According to locals, the man was found sprawled by the roadside, a short distance from the notorious spot known for brewing and distributing illicit alcohol within the estate.
It's believed the man had consumed an excessive amount of Chang'aa, a potent local brew, and upon reaching the area, was incapacitated by its effects, leading to his collapse.

Having observed the man's prolonged unconsciousness, suspicion arose among the residents. Upon closer inspection, it was tragically discovered that he had passed away.
Authorities were notified, and the incident was promptly reported to the Kericho police station. Police officers swiftly arrived at the scene, retrieved the body, and transported it to the Kericho referral hospital mortuary for further investigation.
