In a tragic incident at Embu County, a 28-year-old nurse from Kiritiri Health Centre was found deceased in the restroom of a therapy center she had visited for marriage counselling. The nurse, originally from the Rift Valley and married to a fellow medical practitioner from Embu County, was reportedly struggling with marital issues.
Authorities are investigating her mysterious death, as it is believed that she may have locked herself in the restroom and overdosed on painkillers. Her body was discovered lying on the floor of the facility.
In light of her passing, friends of the deceased have taken to social media to emphasize the importance of seeking counselling in troubled relationships and making decisions that prioritize family well-being. They also called for improved access to guidance and counselling services for couples to prevent such tragic incidents.
The nurse’s body was transported to the Embu Level 5 Hospital morgue, where her family and friends await the results of the postmortem examination. This incident adds to the growing concern over the increasing cases of suicide, often linked to depression, financial difficulties, and marital challenges.
