However, circumstances surrounding his death are not clear.
According to the authorities, there was a slight injury on the right side of the man’s head.
The body has since been moved to Lee Funeral Home, where a postmortem examination will be conducted to establish the official cause of death.

Talanta Stadium is set to be renamed Raila Odinga Stadium after the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga who passed away while receiving treatment in India.
It is currently under construction and employs a number of Chinese nationals, which has drawn attention to the incident.
The 60,000-seat facility has been under construction since March 2024 and is scheduled to host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
