A Kenyan woman visiting her daughter in the US has passed away.
Mrs. Jane Miseda passed away on Tuesday, February 2nd 2010 at the John Peter Smith (JPS) Hospital in Fortworth, TX approximately 35 miles west of Dallas.
According to a family sources who spoke to Jambonewspot.com, Mrs Miseda started feeling unwell on the night of January 24th– and this continued into the following day.
Her condition deteriorated the following evening. She was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday, January 26th after her daughter Loice Miseda called in the paramedics.
She was admitted in the hospital’s ICU. Sadly, she slipped into a coma which she never woke up from.
She passed away a week later.
Mrs Miseda had been in the US for a month and a half prior to her death. Before arriving in the US, she was in Canada visiting her two other children, Elijah and Betty Miseda.
She left Kenya in October and she was on the last leg of her trip as she was scheduled to return back home in March.
Mrs Miseda’s death comes at a time when the Kenyan community in the diaspora is getting increasingly concerned over the number of deaths being reported in their communities.
Kenyan churches all across the US held prayers on Sunday, February 7 dedicating the day as a “Kenyan International Day of Prayer” and seeking spiritual guidance over this alarming trend.
The deceased hailed from Gem Sub-Location and was living in Awendo, South Nyanza. According to her daughter Loice, plans are under way to repatriate her body back home on February 15th, 2010.
