A flower farm worker in Naivasha died by suicide in what relatives suspect could be due to financial frustration.
The incident brings to more than 70 suicide cases in the lakeside town.
Most of the cases involve school-going minors.
In the latest incident, the body of the flower farm worker in his mid-30s was found hanging in his room by neighbours after he went missing for a couple of days.
A resident, Simon Ntalale, said the deceased fell into depression after parting ways with his wife over his health conditions.
Ntalale revealed that the deceased was under medication and had on several occasions threatened to commit suicide.
“The deceased was working in one of the flower farms, and he was morally and spiritually down as he was sick and the wife decided to abandon him,” he said.
