Police are investigating the death of a 71-year-old man in the Parklands, Nairobi, where he shared an apartment with a 22-year-old woman.
The woman informed authorities that they had reserved a room at a hotel and that the male began gasping for oxygen after a short time.
He then complained of chest and back pains, as well as hand and leg numbness.
The woman dashed downstairs from the third floor, asking a taxi driver at the door to help her save his life.
The deceased man was driven by the cab driver to the nearby Aga Khan hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
