JM Kariuki’s Granddaughter Dies Under Mysterious Circumstances in the US
The family of the late Kenyan politician JM Kariuki is mourning the death of their kin, who died under mysterious circumstances in the United States last month.
Darcy Mwikali Mbaabu, a granddaughter of Kariuki, died while asleep in her house after a night out with friends on the night of January 17th, according to the family.
“My daughter slept and did not wake up. Currently, they are running toxicology tests to find out what caused her death,” her mother Jane Kariuki told Nairobi News via phone from the US.
Police in California’s Orange County, where she lived and worked as a tax consultant, are waiting for the coroner’s report to kick off their investigations.
Mwikali, a 32-year-old mother of one, was born in Kenya before she relocated to the United States together with her family when she was six years old.
Her body is preserved at O’Connor Funeral Home in Laguna Hills Mortuary and the family is planning to cremate it and have the ashes brought home.
“Her ashes will be brought home and sprinkled by her grandfather’s and grandmother’s resting place,” the mother added.

Our condolences and prayers at this time. May God heal and cushion you with His peace and comfort during this time.
Love you
A similar death of a young Abasha boy a week plus ago after partying with friends. Why do I say this? Its because our kids are now dying enmass in the US due to drugs and over indulging
Please don't take me wrong.I don't know what killed Mwikali, but the truth be told.We parents in US are between a rock and a hard place. We can't enforce much to our kids and subsequently we keep loosing them to the unfortunate death.To Mwikali parents, its an enormous loss!
Agree with you. The thing of a child being independent at 17 is a western culture law and tradition. Biblically and Africally there's no backing for it.
Whites especially don't want kids back if they left home early.
@Conish - stop it with the ridiculous hysteria. " Our kids are dying enmass in the US due to drugs"??? Really? Sema tu pole to the family and move on. Stop with your attention seeking hysterias.
@Mkenya12345678910 you sound more hysterical. Let truth reign...or go bury your head in the sand.
