Developing News: Autopsy Confirms Record Holder Kelvin Kiptum’s Cause Of Death: According to the Government Pathologist Dr. Johansen Oduor, late Marathon World Record Holder Kelvin Kiptum died from severe head trauma sustained during the Accident.
He stated,” The late Kelvin had severe head injuries. There were severe skull fractures which were mainly at the base of the skull and the spinal cord had intruded into the canal cavity because of that. Further to that there were some fractures on the ribs on both sides,”
“On the left side, the first, second and third ribs were fractured and on the right side the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh ribs were fractured. There were also injuries to the lungs. What actually killed the late Kelvin was severe head injuries which when I look at them they look more of something caused by a motor vehicle accident,” he added.
Notably, biological samples have been collected from the deceased for further analysis to determine whether any external factors played a role in his demise.
Oduor stated, “We have taken samples for further analysis because the circumstances of the death are being investigated. The samples will undergo full toxicological analysis so that we can see whether there was anything that could have contributed to his death.”
Speaking to the media after receiving the results, Kiptum’s family expressed satisfaction with the results.
“We are pleased with the findings of the results. I witnessed the whole process which started at around 11am and ended around 1:40pm. We are now waiting for the samples they have said will be taken for analysis,” Philip Kiplagat, the late Kiptum’s family spokesperson said.
“Mwili itatolewa hapa kesho ielekee nyumbani Naiberi; Kwa Jerunya. Hafla ya maombi itafanyika Chepsamo Primary School mahali alikuwa anasomea na village ambaye alikuwa anaishi.”
