Veteran Capital FM sports presenter Sean Cardovillis is dead. The popular media personality's body was found on Saturday, September 9 morning outside his house along Rhapta Road, Westlands where he lived alone.

According to authorities and witnesses, his body was discovered at the bottom of his staircase on the fourth floor of an apartment by a cleaner who had gone to clean the area leading to his home.

Cardovillis is alleged to have left earlier for a bike ride before coming home on Friday at about 7 o'clock.

His lifeless body was discovered at the stairway many hours later. Police claimed that it was unclear whether he was going to work or had passed away by Friday night.

According to witnesses, the cleaner called for help, and an ambulance soon came. He was pronounced dead at the site by the medics. His body was taken away and taken to the mortuary.

The cause of his death is yet unknown, according to the police. An autopsy of the deceased will be performed to determine the cause of death.

Cardovillis was employed at Capital FM and had a passion for sports and was scheduled to report for work on Saturday afternoon, according to station staff.

He was supposed to speak with triple world record holder Faith Kipyegon, a multiple Olympic and world winner today.

The seasoned sports host made his highly-publicized return to Capital FM in June 2023 after 18 years.

“I’ll be presenting the sports updates Mondays to Fridays, and also presenting Saturday Music and Sports as we rebrand sports at the station.”
