Family statement over Philip’s death
Dear All,
I know you have several unanswered questions on the death of our beloved Philip Kasay a Sitati and in particular the cause of death Philip was admitted at Kiambu level 5 hospital on Friday 1st May 2020 at around 3pm unconscious and fighting for his life. Details at admission on his immediate past history remain a secret that only he could explain
The medical team started attending to him and all that was requested from the family was availed. On Saturday 2nd May 2020 a number of tests were requested and blood and urine samples were obtained for the tests. Philip was showing much improvement from the state he was in on Friday and even the initial thought of transferring him to Aga Khan in Nairobi was shelved as the improvements were encouraging. By evening, we slept hoping of even more improvement the next day.
However on Sunday 3rd May 2020 was to bring a different unexpected story as we woke up to the cruel heart breaking news that his condition had worsened at night and all efforts to resuscitate him proved unsuccessful. The cruel hand of death had snatched him from us at around 2.00am.
So many unanswered questions but the sad reality is Philip is no more to tell us what reaIly happened. We are planning a post mortem tomorrow Monday 4th May 2020 at Chiromo Mortuary for more details on his cause of death.
We really wish to know what took away the life of our beloved brother, friend, colleague, comrade etc….
We loved you Philip and will still do even in death

Jovial guy
Most of this friends said Philip was a jovial man.
A friend, M.A (@Amerucanrum) shared the last conversation they had.
Mental health
Kenyans shared few messages of hope to those suffering depression urging them to speak to others and seek help.
“I want to say with a lot of humility. He posted this on 30th April. Noone commented. Let’s try (me included) to engage our friends when they’re still alive. Once they’re gone they won’t know they meant something to us if we never made them feel so” – Waweru Thuo wrote.

Depression is real. Check up on you friends people…. All it takes, is just sincerely asking someone if they are okay. That's it.
