A post-mortem examination revealed that 28-year-old political mobiliser Cecil Ouma died of a single gunshot wound to the chest.
Pathologists collected the bullet, which will now be subjected to ballistic analysis as the inquiry into his fatal gunshot moves further.
Dr. Bernard Midia, representing the government, and Dr. Joseph Dungu, representing Ouma’s family, performed the autopsy on Thursday.
Following an examination of the body, the two pathologists came to an agreement on the cause of death.

“We had two pathologists, one representing the government and the other representing the family,” Midia told journalists after the examination.
“The conclusion is that he died as a result of a single gunshot wound to the left side of the chest,” he said.
Midia revealed that the gunshot caused serious internal injuries, which resulted in extreme bleeding and ultimately killed Ouma.
“There was a lot of internal bleeding. That was the cause of death,” he said.

He confirmed that the bullet had been successfully retrieved during the post-mortem and handed over to investigators for forensic examination.
“We were able to retrieve the bullet, which we have handed over for ballistic investigations by the IPOA group. We now hand over the investigative processes to the authorities,” Midia added.
The findings come as investigations intensify into the circumstances surrounding Ouma’s death, which allegedly occurred on Tuesday, June 30, along Park Road in Nairobi.
