Paul Manyasi, a 29-year-old man from Western Kenya, made headlines after his body fell from a Kenya Airways plane in London on June 30, 2019. His body was later identified on November 12, 2019.

Manyasi was reportedly working as a cleaner for Colnet, a company contracted by the Kenya Airports Authority to provide cleaning services at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

According to reports, Manyasi's body was found in the undercarriage of Kenya Airways flight KQ 100, which departed from Nairobi's JKIA to London's Heathrow Airport.

Manyasi's death has sparked an outpouring of grief on social media, with many Kenyans mourning his loss and expressing sympathy for his family.

As the news of Manyasi's death spread, many Kenyans took to social media to share their condolences and pay tribute to the young man who lost his life while trying to seek a better life.
