The late businessman Francis Kiambi succumbed to a cardiac arrest, according to an autopsy report released by Government Pathologist Johansen Oduor.

Odour, in a Friday, January 13, press briefing, stated that a coronary artery complication caused Kiambi's cardiac arrest due to excess cholesterol in the deceased body.

The Government Pathologist, however, did not reveal more details regarding the death of the Karen tycoon.

The businessman was found dead at his home in Karen on Monday, January 9.

A preliminary police report indicated that the businessman passed on after a night out with his friends and family. He was found by his wife after an earlier disagreement over a Ksh2 billion loan.

Kiambi sought the Ksh2 billion loan to start a business, but his wife had reportedly declined to be his guarantor.

"The couple had some domestic differences since the reportee had refused to guarantee the deceased a loan of Ksh2 billion which he intended to take to open a business," read the report in part.

The 50-year-old businessman-cum-politician's body was moved to Lee Funeral Home after a family doctor confirmed his demise.

At their home in Tharaka Nithi, the deceased sister Jesicah Kajugu indicated that the former senatorial aspirant had experienced financial struggles after his workers hinted that his businesses, including an alcoholic plant, were not performing well.

"Before his last moments, some of his workers were coming home and would say that things were not good. The business had slowed down.

"Even as we observed him, we knew that there was a problem. We did not know his struggles in his business, we just got a hint that things were not rosy," she stated.

Law enforcement officers are yet to issue a conclusive statement regarding Kiambi's death.
