The news of his demise was confirmed on Wednesday, November 13, by Sharleen Wambui, a Murang'a MCA.
"Rest with the angels my friend Mark Wainaina," Wambui remarked.
Earlier, Wambui disclosed that he was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after his lungs failed. She appealed for financial help towards the medical expenses of Wainaina even as she maintained that he was under good medical care.
"Family and friends, we invite you to help us raise some funds for our brother Mark Wainaina who is currently being treated for severe pneumonia, which has caused all his vital organs to stop functioning and is currently in the ICU. Please support us," Wambui stated.
