22 years old patient at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) dies after jumping from the 7th-floor ward in Nairobi.
The man had been a patient at the hospital before the incident happened on Thursday around 1 am when other patients were asleep.
He died on the spot.
The patient who had been admitted to ward 7B jumped to the ground floor and died on the spot.
Security personnel at the hospital said they heard a thud on the ground floor and on checking, they found the patient already dead.
Police officers processed the scene and moved the body to the mortuary and have since launched investigations into the incident.
The hospital is yet to issue a statement on how long the patient had been at the facility.
The seventh and eighth floors of the hospital host patients suffering from communicable diseases such as malaria, HIV and Aids, pneumonia and Tuberculosis (TB).
