It sounded like he was by himself! A new Kenyan, Trump era, inability to work and make a living, lack of full support, frustrations and failure to cope/adjust; factors that will drive people to commit suicide. I hope i am wrong. RIP young man. Quite saddening indeed.

Say this often when someone passes away blesses Allah and we should mever mention any other reasons or factors of death. Cause you and me our days are coming and we shall be asked individually on the judgement day weather we know or not

@ Bwana, according to you... we should never mention any other reasons or factors of death.Then it follows that if arobber breaks in ahouse and kills innocent occupants,Allah is using the robber to send the occupants to him right?
Further, if other factors "dont matter",there in no point in trying to come up with medication to cure diseases that might kill is there,since Allah wants all life back to him...No point in prolonging life... If that's your position that's fine.Just curious.

Mkenya Halisi or whatever he/she was a failure in the States. Always against anything USA although always claiming to have gotten resources from there. This person is fake and has nothing halisi about them other than spread hate and ignorance.

I am betting that the culture shock of coming to America,trying to fit in ,geting a job,bad roommates,a.demanding odd job and the impersonal nature of Kenyans in America who have been there longer than him can overwhelm someone new from Kenya and especially if there is no support system.Maybe he was kicked out of a house and slept.on the streets for a few days...that would be a.very low point.
