The investigation into the untimely demise of the seasoned politician and ex-presidential contender Cyrus Jirongo has taken an unexpected twist as a new postmortem report was made public. The autopsy done by the government pathologists in the presence of family members has identified that the ex-legislator Jirongo died of severe blunt-force trauma to the chest, and this finding has quickly diverted the attention of national investigators.
The medical examination unmasked that Jirongo had already suffered massive internal bleeding and his thoracic region was highly damaged. Although at first, the reports coming out from where Jirongo collapsed indicated a medical emergency or sudden heart attack, the physical proof of ‘catastrophic impact’ has led to an all-out investigation into the hours before his death.
The report has pointed out that the injuries were typical of a high-speed impact or a concentrated application of force. This aspect has sent ripples all over the political scene of Kenya, as Jirongo was a man with connections that went as deep as his conflicts, which can be traced back to the early 90s.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has already sealed off places associated with Jirongo’s last activities. Insiders of the investigation point out that the “blunt force” noticed by the pathologists does not match a fall from standing height, thus putting forward a terrifying scenario of either a physical struggle or an accident that was made to look like an accident.
Cyrus Jirongo was a major player in the history of Kenya, as he led the YK’92 movement, which had a lasting impact on Kenyan politics for years to come. The news of his death being so brutal and physical, besides being a political loss, has also caused a demand for transparency in the Western region’s leadership and political circles.
The pathologists have spent a lot of time exploring the insides of the body, coming up with an extensive internal damage report, which consists of broken ribs and an aorta rupture, among other things. It is said that the injuries inflicted on Jirongo were so extreme that they made his death inevitable even if he got help immediately.
As the autopsy results are released, the National Police Service is facing huge demands for a precise, hour-by-hour description of Jirongo’s whereabouts and his company. Forensic investigators are scrutinizing his car and gadgets to find out if there was any fight or if he got hurt while being robbed before he got his lethal injury.
The family, extremely upset since they have come to know that the death of their father was caused by “severe injuries” and not natural causes, have urged for peace but, at the same time, have demanded an independent forensic audit of the scene of the incident without any public involvement.
