Police are investigating an incident in which a University of Nairobi student died by suicide in the Kabete area.
The body of Jonah Kiplangat, 19 was found dangling on a tree with a rope tied on his neck.
Police said the body was found at the university farm on Wednesday evening.
The victim stayed alone in one of the hostels at the university.
After accessing his room the police said they recovered a suicide note bidding farewell to his parents and clan written in his dialect.
The note was left on the table.
Police said they are investigating to establish if he is the one who authored it as part of the probe into the incident.
The body had no visible injuries other than marks around the neck.
Police moved the body to the mortuary pending autopsy and other probe procedures.
Elsewhere in Huruma, one Joseph Adengu aged 19 died by suicide.
The body was found in his father’s house long after the incident on Wednesday, police said.
The motive of the incident is yet to be known. The body was moved to the mortuary.
Cases of suicide have been on the rise this year and authorities blame the trend on mental distress.
