Homa Bay police said the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has taken up the case to establish the circumstances surrounding the boy’s sudden death.
Authorities said there were no indications that the student had any pre-existing medical conditions.
Security agencies confirmed that the boy’s body was transferred to a mortuary pending a post-mortem examination.
The incident adds to a growing number of reported sudden deaths.
Last month, Standard Group journalist Rashid Mukoya collapsed at the media house’s offices and later died after being rushed to hospital.
Mukoya’s family confirmed that he passed away on Wednesday, December 25, while undergoing treatment at a Nairobi hospital.
