Reports indicate that Nderi, 34, took poison at Capital FM offices at Lonroh House in Nairobi on Wednesday evening and collapsed moments later. His colleagues rushed him to the Nairobi Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Star reports that the deceased left behind a suicide note, disabled his social media accounts, and contacted family and friends bidding them goodbye. 

Confirming the incident, Kilimani OCS Muturi Mbogo said the deceased had apparently ingested poison. 

“We understand that he swallowed poison in his office after a series of events,” he said.

Capital FM management has appealed to the public to grant the family privacy in mourning Nderi, saying the circumstances surrounding his death are a family matter which has been taken over by relevant authorities.

“Alex was a great addition to the larger Capital FM team, encompassing great talent as a DJ, producer and possessed an interesting ”right-wing” sense of humor,” said Danny Munyi, the stations’ Programs Director.

“To honor him we will celebrate him for the passion he had for this company, his direct breakfast team, his fellow mixmasters, and cherish the moments we shared with him.”

Nderi hosted the Club Capital show, every Friday from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM and on Jam Fridays from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

    Kinoti must take charge of thorough investigations(starting with “suicide”note handwriting) into Vulture’s death as he might have been killed by expired jambazi Kirubi’s family.Maina Kageni’s relocation to US was also suspect.These guys worked closely with jambazi Kirubi and knew all his dirty deals including GAY life,looting of public funds and tax evasions.Many men confess everything to their wives(yes,both genders) during the SCREWING sessions.

    Mental health is serious my fellow Kenyans. Whether here in Kenya, UK, US and all the U’s including Uganda, it’s not something to play with
