The 30 year old man had been admitted at Mbagathi Hospital on Friday at 6pm. According to reports emerging, he attempted to commit suicide using a florescent tube which he broke before using it to slit his own throat. “No human being has the power to understand why people commit suicide or even attempt. If there is anyone with this ability then suicide would be a thing of the past. He did not say why,”Nairobi Police Commander Phillip Ndolo said.
Medical personnel at the facility heard the man struggling in his room and rushed to help him. ‘We told him he is young and will recover. We informed him he was not the only one who is sick and that all shall be well,” the medics are quoted reassuring the man.
A report by Standard Digital noted that police were allowed to access the facility after properly donning protective gear.The incident was filed at Kilimani Police Station.
