A 27-year-old man in Kenya has been found hanging dead in his neighbour’s house on Monday.

Reports say Elvis Odoyo was found dead in his neighbour’s living room when the owner of the house had left for other businesses.

Police investigation found that the deceased gained access into his neighbour’s house using a key that he got from his brother who is a close friend to the owner of the house.

Confirming the incident to local reporters, Nairobi police spokesperson Chief Elijah Warioba the cause of Odiyo’s suicidal ideation is yet to be established.

“We are yet to know why he decided to end his life; and why he did that in his neighbour’s house. We are probing his family members to try and get answers to our questions,” said Mr Warioba.
