The family of the late popular content creator Tabitha Gatwiri has recently released a statement disclosing what caused her sudden death.
In a statement shared by the late Gatwiri’s industry colleague Naomi Kuria, the late influencer’s family revealed that a post-mortem had established two plausible causes of death.
According to the pathologist’s report done at the Kenyatta University Funeral Home, the content creator died from suffocation.
“The late Gatwiri passed on from positional asphyxia with brain oedema,”
Postural asphyxia typically occurs when a person’s mouth or nose is blocked or their lungs cannot expand properly.
Burial plans are currently underway and Gatwiri’s family is set to issue a communication on the same.
The late Gatwiri was announced dead on October 31 and her death took the entertainment fraternity by shock, with a number of high-profile personalities using their platform to mourn the comedian.
A number of the Gatwiri’s close friends shared on social media that she fell ill two days before her passing but she was still in high spirits nonetheless as detailed in screenshots of text messages shared by some of her industry friends.
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka also joined the entertainment fraternity in mourning the actress.
“She was a young woman determined to change the world for the better with her ideas. Our discussions on the State of the Nation and what her generation could achieve given the opportunity were mind-provoking.”
The late Tabitha Gatwiri was one of the more successful content creators on social media, boasting well over 120,000 followers on TikTok.
