Cause Of Nekesa Teen Who Went Viral Diring Gen-Z Protests Revealed
Immaculate Nekesa, the 19-year-old student whose video went viral during the nationwide Gen-Z protests, tragically died of suffocation due to carbon monoxide poisoning.
An autopsy conducted at Kakamega County General Teaching and Referral Hospital on Monday, October 14, revealed that smoke suspected to have emanated from a charcoal jiko choked key organs of her body, including the brain.
Her mother, Martha Nanjala, talking to reporters said that the family witnessed the autopsy before they transferred her body to Bungoma County Referral Hospital ahead of her burial on November 2, 2024.
“As a family, we are traumatised with the death of our firstborn who was jovial, hardworking and disciplined,” she said.
The bereaved mother said burial plans are ongoing and that her daughter would be buried at their home in Musikoma village in Bungoma County on November 2, 2024.
Nekesa became a brief sensation during the youth-led anti-Finance Bill demonstrations in June when a video of her excitedly engaging with anti-riot police officers in a patrol car in Bungoma town vehicle went viral.
The body of Nekesa, who was popularly known as Ashley Magero, was discovered in her rented house at Sigalagala in Kakamega County last Friday.
It is suspected that she could have died two days before her body was found.
Nekesa had only been enrolled for a month at Sigalagala National Polytechnic where she was pursuing a certificate course in Catering and Accommodation.
Her last conversation with her father was on Monday last week when she requested for a course uniform which was required by Friday, October 11, deadline – the day when her lifeless body was found.
