On Wednesday, a Kenyatta University graduate passed away in the United States after drowning at a lake just three months after his graduation.
The man, identified as John Omari Hassan, was reported to be from Nakuru and migrated to the US in April 2019.
The incident happened at Golden Ring Park, Baltimore, Maryland, as reported by Sahara Tribune.
Authorities are still trying to establish how John got into the water, as signs posted near the pond warn that swimming is prohibited.
Baltimore County fire officials narrated that people playing at the basketball court heard someone yelling from the pond and ran over to try and help.
After unsuccessful attempts to rescue him, they called an emergency toll line. Minutes later, dive crews were able to find the victim under the water and pulled him from the pond. John was rushed to Franklin Square Hospital while in critical condition. He later passed on at the hospital.
