Government Chief Pathologist Johansen Oduor has revealed what killed Kariobangi North MCA Joel Munuve.
According to Oduor who led the autopsy on Friday, April 25, 2025, Munuve died due to blood clot and lack of sufficient oxygen.
The autopsy showed that he died from a long-standing blood clot in his left leg that traveled to his lungs, fatally blocking a major vessel.
A total of seven pathologists took part in the postmortem exercise.
Speaking at the funeral home, Lawyer Danstan Omari confirmed the involvement of several parties, each represented by a pathologist.
“The first pathologist is Johansen Oduor, representing the government. Two, the family has sent a pathologist. The third one is from AAR. The fourth pathologist is from the County Assembly of Nairobi,” he said.
“The County Government of Nairobi (Executive wing) has also sent a pathologist, and lastly, the Member of Parliament for Embakasi East, Babu Owino, who has two pathologists.”
Omari welcomed further involvement from those interested in the matter.
“Anybody who has an interest in this matter is free to come with their pathologist,” he said.
He said there are also more than 15 experts, including those from the DCI, that are taking part in the process.
“Alongside the pathologists, there are more than 15 experts from the DCI, from the government analyst, from the forensics part and the scenes of crime,” Omari said.
Munuve died on Tuesday, April 22, while undergoing treatment at a private hospital located along Kiambu Road.
The MCA had been rushed to hospital after he collapsed while conducting his duties at his ward office in Nairobi.
His death became the subject of controversy as it occurred just three days after he announced his intention to collect signatures to impeach Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.
