A friend to Kipyegon, who sought anonymity, alleged that the deceased and his wife had been having marital issues and would have been the reason to him taking his life.
“He has been having marital issues which we suspect drove him to commit suicide,” stated the friend.
A doctor from the hospital who opted to have his identity concealed, stated that Kipyegon was received at the facility with breathing problems and died while in the ICU.
“He was rushed here early morning for having taken poison and doctors did all they could do to save his live but unfortunately he died,” remarked the doctor.
