A doctor at the facility where she was rushed confirmed that she was already dead and there was no need to admit her.
Police and the doctor indicated that the officer, who was on leave from her station in Embakasi, may have been induced to go into labour, prompting a visit to the initial health facility.
She succumbed to the bleeding, and her body was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy, according to police.
The incident occurred in Kabiru area, Kawangware.
Police arrested a nurse on duty and a driver attached to the facility on Wednesday for questioning.
