Nakuru: Family, school touched by pathologist sharing what killed a boy who died at school

• The report of the post mortem expert from Nakuru County Teaching and Referral Hospital has revealed the cause of death of Moses Nyang’au, who died at Moi Comprehensive School
• The doctors discussed the child’s injuries and explained the condition of some of the main body organs of the young man who died in a confusing way while at school
• Kenyans raised concerns about school safety and the duty of care to students, with some saying there may be a need to change the way sick children are handled at school.

County of NakuruKenya: Moi Comprehensive School has received the information with relief as the investigation report did not directly link it to the death of Moses Nyang’au.

According to Dr. According to the Nakuru County Referral and Training Hospital, the boy died due to poor blood circulation and had no injuries.

“I have relatives who have identified the child on my behalf; his body did not show serious injuries; there was only a small wound on the forehead. I also checked the chest, upper lips, thighs, head and legs, and there was no injury,” he said.

“The internal examination showed signs of circulatory failure. Initially, the body showed hypoxia (lack of oxygen), but there were no specific symptoms to show why the child had circulatory failure,” he added.

Nguuni said that poor blood circulation can occur due to a fight or flight situation, a change in heart rate or bleeding.

He also explained that some parts of the body such as blood, liver and kidney have been taken for further examination.

“The abdomen appeared to be hemorrhagic,” he said.

What did the Kenyans say?

@marionwaruguru4216: “So many deaths of children in schools these days! Where is the school’s responsibility? Many things are going on and children are not safe while there is a concealment of the truth by school principals, teachers and other staff — it’s shocking. Do we have a Ministry of Education that cares about these deaths? Lord have mercy!”

@aishaaisha9653: “Why does this woman seem so violent, and why didn’t the family get their own medical examiner?”

@jempire337: “Maybe the school needs a new leadership.”

@sim_sim_salabim: “This medical examiner speaks as if his words are coming by train from Kakamega. Umm…uhhh…umm…one word every 10 seconds.”
