Police in Emuhaya, Vihiga County, have launched an investigation to determine how a Grade 7 student died in a house.
According to Emuhaya Deputy County Commissioner Chuk Masua, the 18-year-old boy was discovered dead in a neighbour's house in the Em'mukunzi area, where he used to sleep.
Neighbours who were perplexed as to why the deceased's house door had not been opened peered through the window and discovered him on the floor before calling the police.
"Neighbours broke the bedroom window when they discovered the door was still closed from inside and saw the body of the boy on the floor, prompting them to call police," Masua said.
"Police have already taken the corpse to Maseno Mission Hospital Coptic morgue awaiting autopsy as preliminary information revealed that the boy had been heard complaining of pains in the leg," he added.
Masua says detectives are awaiting an autopsy report to aid in the investigation of what would have transpired.
