An unidentified man has died after reportedly collapsing at Gate B on the island side of the Likoni Ferry crossing in Mombasa County early Thursday morning.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, with police yet to establish what caused the man to collapse and whether any other factors contributed to his death.
According to preliminary reports, the man fell at the busy ferry crossing before he was found dead. His identity had not been established by the time the incident was reported, as he was not found with any identification documents.
Police officers arrived at the scene to gather information and secure the area as they began preliminary investigations into the incident.
The body was later transferred to Coast General Referral Hospital in Mombasa for preservation and further examination as authorities work to establish the cause of death.
Investigators are expected to establish the events leading up to the man's collapse, including what he was doing at the ferry crossing before the incident occurred.
However, no further details have been released regarding the man's age, where he came from, or whether anyone witnessed him collapse.
The lack of identification documents has also left investigators with the task of establishing who the deceased was and locating relatives who may be able to identify him.
Police are continuing with inquiries into the incident and are expected to use the available information to establish the man's identity and notify his family once confirmed.
The incident has raised questions about the circumstances under which the man died, although authorities have not indicated whether foul play is suspected.
For now, the cause of death remains unknown, and the police investigation is ongoing. Further details are expected once the man's identity is established and the relevant examinations are completed.
Authorities have not released additional information about the incident, and no conclusion has been reached regarding the circumstances of the man's death.
