On July 3, an autopsy report from the Chiromo mortuary shed light on the mysterious death of comedian Kasee, revealing that he was poisoned.
According to Kenya Comedians Society chairman Ken Waudo, the news was made public to quash reports that linked Kasee's death to alcoholism and depression.
Waudo explained that Kasee, born Joseph Musyoki, received a call from friends on June 28 to join them for drinks at a local joint, but he never returned home.
“Kasee was chilling at home with his wife and kids when he was called to go hang out with friends and have some drinks,” Waudo said.
He later felt unwell, saying his stomach was disturbing him, and even called his dad to inform him of the same.
However, Kasee had promised to call his dad immediately he got home but never did.
Waudo said that at the place where the comedian was found dead, there were some kids who revealed that he had complained of stomach problems and decided to take a nap before going home.
This was the exact place where the comedian was confirmed dead on the evening of June 28.
“It was around 6 in the evening and cops who arrived on the scene confirmed he was dead,” Waudo added.
“The examiner said his brain was clear and nothing to do with depression, and his liver was not that bad, so he was probably poisoned,” Waudo said.
Waudo also revealed that investigations were ongoing.
Kasee is survived by two children and a wife.
