This raised concern among his training partners who then opted to look for him at his residence where they found the door locked from inside. When they forced it open, they found his lifeless body lying on the floor near the bedroom door with no visible signs of injury. “Police from Kaptagat are currently handling the matter and the body is currently at Iten Mortuary.”
