Singer Bahati Kioko is mourning the death of the 50-year-old man who was found dead in his room in Karen on Monday morning.
Through a post on social media, Bahati said he had lost a brother.
"Still unbelievable. R.I.P My Brother," Bahati eulogised.
A police report indicates that Francis Kambi was discovered dead by his wife Mary Muthoni in the wee hours of Monday before informing the police about the incident.
"The couple had some domestic differences since the reportee had refused to guarantee the deceased a loan of Sh2 billion which he intended to take to open a business," the police said in their report.
According to the report filed at Karen Police Station, the couple came home along Ndege Road in Karen on Sunday at around 1 am after having a meeting and drinks with a family advocate and his relative at a nearby restaurant.
But seemingly because of the disagreement over the loan request, the couple spent the night in different bedrooms until the time the body of the deceased was discovered at sunrise.
"They each spent the night in different rooms and the deceased never woke up since then but could be heard snoring throughout the day and night and had vomited in his bedroom.
“It was until today (Monday) at around 0600hrs when she went to check on the deceased and she found him lying dead on his bed with some vomit beside the bed," the police said.
The police report indicates that a doctor who was called in from the Karen Hospital at around 6 am confirmed the death at around 9 am before the remains were moved to the Lee Funeral Home awaiting an autopsy.
"The scene was visited by the police and processed. The body had no visible injuries," police said.
Francis Kambi had previously vied for the Tharaka Nithi County senatorial seat but was unsuccessful.
