According to Dr. Joseph Ndung’u, who represented the family during the post-mortem examination, Jirongo died from blunt force trauma that caused severe injuries to multiple parts of his body.
The injuries affected his chest, abdomen, spine, and legs, indicating that the impact he suffered was extremely forceful.
Dr. Ndung’u explained that the injuries were consistent with a high-impact incident, which subjected the body to intense physical force.
He noted that the damage to vital organs and the spinal area was extensive and ultimately fatal.
The pathologist said the injuries were not minor and would have led to rapid deterioration of the victim’s condition.
“The cause of death was blunt force trauma, which resulted in serious injuries to the chest, abdomen, spine, and lower limbs,” Dr. Ndung’u stated.
He added that the level of trauma showed the body endured overwhelming force, leaving little chance of survival.
The findings have provided the family with clearer medical answers as they continue to mourn the former politician.
Jirongo was a well-known public figure who served in government and remained influential in political and business circles for many years.
His death shocked the nation and sparked widespread discussion, with many Kenyans seeking clarity on what exactly happened.
Family members have said the post-mortem results were important in helping them understand the circumstances surrounding his death.
They emphasized the need for transparency and truth, noting that clear medical findings help put speculation to rest.
At the same time, the family pathologist’s report is expected to form part of ongoing investigations by relevant authorities.
