Kenyan man found dead in his apartment in Finlay, Ohio

The late Francis Peter Mungao

A 36 year old Kenyan man was found dead in his apartment in Finlay, Ohio. The body of Mr Francis Peter Mungao was discovered in his apartment on Wednesday, January 6th 2010.

According to Mr. Samuel Ng’anga, the younger brother to the deceased, Francis had a day earlier (Tuesday) complained of feeling unwell in a phone conversation with his girlfriend while he was at work. He however continued working until he left work at around 11pm. He is said to have passed through a fast food restaurant where he took home a food order.

Francis did not show up at his place of work the following morning where he was scheduled to attend a meeting at around 8am. This was a cause for concern for his manager as it was unlike him. When he did not show up later on, his manager went to look for him at his place of residence. After knocking the door with no answer, the manager sought to enquire from a neighbor on whether he had been seen on that day. The neighbor had not seen him and so they called the apartment manager so that they could have access to the apartment.

At around 4.30 pm, the manager arrived and was able to get access to the apartment. It is at this point that they found the deceased on the floor. The police were called in and arrived at the scene at around 6pm.

Initial ruling from the coroner’s office is that Francis suffered a seizure considering the position he lay when his body was found. According to Mr. Ng’ang’a, the deceased had a history of seizures for the past one and a half years.

Prior to coming over to the US, Mr.Mungao was in Britain until 1999. He graduated from the University of Finlay with a master’s degree. He was the son of Grace Wanjiru Gachungi of Magiwa Estate Nairobi, Brother to Samuel Mwaura of Cincinnati Ohio, brother in-law to Jane Nyakio Mwaura (USA) and brother to Christine Wairimu London (UK)
