The Nairobi Hospital Director Dr Job Obwaka died of cardiac arrest linked to heart problems that he had been battling, pathologists have revealed.
Three pathologists led by Dr Johansen Oduor, Peter Ndegwa and Joseph Ndung’u who conducted the autopsy at the Lee Funeral Home in Nairobi unanimously concurred with the findings.
“We have all concurred on the cause of his death, he had a cardiac arrest as result of a heart problem that he had,” Dr Ndegwa explained
“However, despite the fact that he had a heart problem we are still going to do some analysis because we have taken some samples,” he added
The pathologists said the liquid samples collected will be subjected to toxicology examination to rule out other possibilities related to Dr Obwaka’s death.
Obwaka, 83 died on Friday, May 1, 2026 in Kitengela in what the Directorate of Criminal Investigations have said he was in the company of lover, Beatrice Wangari who was arrested to assist in their probe.
On the material, detectives stated that Obwaka drove to Kitengela and met Wangari who picked him and spent time in her house before he collapsed and passed on upon arrival at the Nairobi Hospital.
Detectives stated that Obwaka and Wangari shared a meal then requested to rest in the master bedroom, after which she joined him.
Shortly afterwards, his condition reportedly deteriorated suddenly.
