A 22-year-old Kenyan dropped dead in US
The late Phillip Gichuki Muturi
A Kenyan man has passed away in Boston, USA. The deceased, the late Philip Gichuki Muturi, 22 dropped dead as soon as he arrived at his two month old, first ever job in the USA on Tuesday 31st March, 2009. The incident happened at around 10 am in Poughkeepsie, near Hyde Park, New York.
The late Muturi arrived in the USA last year and was a student at the Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie, New York. He was living with his sister Ruth Muturi and her husband, Cyrus Waiguru Kiringi and their two and a half year old daughter. The late young man had just found a job at the Anderson School, a specialized school taking care of people with mental disabilities.
“It was his day off from school and he went for one hour training on Crisis Intervention at his new job”, said Mr. Mungai. According to Mr. Mungai, his friend had just entered the training room when he said “hi” to one friend and then collapsed. “The school trainers immediately started performing CPR and AED on Philip and everything else as they called up Emergency help”. He said that paramedics arrived minutes later and took the young man to the Vassar Hospital in the same city where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The deceased hails from Githurai, near Nairobi, Kenya.

Sources from Ohio claims that the 37-year-old woman found dead yesterday morning in a quarry behind a local television station is a Kenyan by the name of Ann N.Karanja.The police believe that she committed suicide.
Homicide detective Jay Fulton said police found a note in her car, which was parked on the lot of WSYX (Channel 6), 1261 Dublin Rd. The note listed personal issues with which the woman had been dealing, he said.
A maintenance worker saw the body at 8:37 a.m., face down about 10 feet from shore in the quarry commonly called Broadcast Lake.
Ann did not have visible injuries, and police suspect that she waded into the water overnight and drowned. An autopsy will determine whether she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police said.
A committee has been formed under the chairmanship of Joseph Wambugu assisted by Rev.John Kareithi of Revival Mission International Center and is deliberating on how to transport the body back to Kenya.

Appreciation
Friends I take this early opportunity to thank you all for a job well done. It is always good to give credit where it is due. We have been stretched beyond limit but, by Gods grace we have managed to bring down the giant together. Friends unity is a very strong tool; it makes the work easier.
Now we can relax knowing that we have given our friends a good send off. Keep the good spirit and God bless you.
Just a reminder, we are yet to finalize everything; tomorrow we will be meeting at the Revival Missions once more to raise a ticket for Mama Irungu so that she can go and bury her father. Please don’t get tired.
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:9-10)
In His service
