A family in Meru county is mourning the sudden demise of their son Hillary Muriungi Kaume who emerged best in Meru county in the 2018 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education.
Muriungi died on Friday, May 1, at Nairobi Hospital where he has been undergoing treatment after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
In a report by The Standard, the family is making arrangements to have the body transported to his home village for burial as soon as possible in line with government directives.
"It is true he has died. We are now making arrangement to bring the body back home for burial," said family spokesman Elias Mutuma.
Muriungi who did his KCPE exams at Fred’s Academy in Meru and scored 442 marks and was admitted at his dream school, Alliance boys High School.
Shortly after joining the school, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor which was later removed by surgery and radiation.
Early in the year, during the routine MRI tests, it was noticed that another tumor had already developed in the boy's head.
In February 2020, he underwent another surgery and he was discharged awaiting specialised treatment outside the country.
However, he developed complications and was taken back to the hospital where he was admitted at the Critical Care Unit where he succumbed to the tumor.
