The family and close friends of the late TV actor Kone Nouhoum will pay their last respects today afternoon as he is buried. Kone was a Muslim.

The details of the burial have been kept under wraps by the family as they want it to be a private affair.

The news of Kone's passing has hit fans hard.

Kone had been battling for his life after he was involved in a freak accident in September 29, 2018 at the Ol Karia Geothermal site in Nakuru county.

At the time, his fellow actor on the TV show Selina, Pascal Tokodi, said Kone had undergone several surgeries due to multiple fractures to his spine. He experienced difficulty breathing.

The acting fraternity has sent their condolences. Among them is producer and actor Eve D'Souza.

Veteran actor Raymond Ofula said, "I'm saddened to hear of the demise of Kone, an accomplished actor with whom I had the pleasure of sharing the screen. May his soul rest in eternal peace."
