  • Otsianda died at a hotel in the South Cast while hanging out with colleagues whom he’d travelled with for a vacation.

An autopsy conducted on the body of Nelson Otsianda; the late Buru Buru Girls High School teacher has revealed that he died from drowning.

Results from a post-mortem conducted at Jocham Hospital mortuary indicated that the body had no injuries.

“He had no soft tissue injuries on his body. This shows that he was not assaulted. Perhaps he was just drunk and fell in the water and did not know how to swim,” Fanuel Nasio, Msambweni police boss was quoted by Nation.

Otsianda died at a hotel in the South Cast while hanging out with colleagues whom he’d travelled with for a vacation.

The group was having fun only for them to discover Otsianda’s body at the hotel’s swimming pool.

The autopsy results come amid suspicion that Otsianda’s colleagues may have been involved in his demise.

Earlier on, Otsianda’s father, Cloud Amauchi had pointed an accusing finger at his son's colleagues, alleging they might be behind his death.

“They were at the pool together with my son, so how come all the four could not help him? I appeal to the government that investigations be conducted and these teachers be held responsible,” Amauchi said.

He noted that the family had appealed to the hotel's management to let them view CCTV footage, but their request was denied.

“Why has the management of the villas denied us access to the CCTV server? That means there is something fishy,” he said.

Since Otsianda's death, a message was shared on social media and has gone viral, alleging that the teacher was murdered before his body was tossed into the pool.

“A Buru Buru Girls teacher went with colleagues to Mombasa and now he is dead. The hotel that had hosted them says he fell in a swimming pool while drunk. So the brother to the deceased demands for a CCTV footage, the hotel says it was not functional. He insists on accessing the main server.

“To his shock, he sees two men clobbering his brother and killing him then throws (sic) him to the swimming poll. What is the hotel hiding,” the post reads in part.
