A KDF officer based at Embakasi Garrison was on Sunday found dead in his house in a suspected suicide incident.
The 45-year-old was found dead after his colleague David Kimaru attempted to reach out to him on phone unsuccessfully.
A report indicates that the friends found something amiss in his failure to pick up phone calls and had to rush to his house to find what had happened.
It is then that they discovered that he had died with his body hanging from the rooftop on a rope.
