Residents of Itumbe area in Kisii County are mourning the death of a female teacher who was found dead on Tuesday in her bathroom.
Confirming the incident, Itumbe OCS George Wang'ombe said the deceased identified as Gunda Shiundu failed to show up at Bishop Mugendi Nyakegogi secondary school in Bobasi where she teaches on Tuesday morning prompting her colleagues to launch a search.
"Shiundu lives alone in her house because her children returned to school and her husband went to his workplace in Mt. Elgon. Teachers who went to her house found the door locked from inside and broke it only to find her body lying down in the bathroom" said the OCS.
He said the body had no visible injuries to link her death to a murder case.
Wang'ombe assured that probe has commenced to find out what might have caused the woman's death.
"He family members will give us details concerning her health condition since we suspect she may have collapsed due to illness," he noted.
He said the body was moved to Kisii Teaching and referral hospital morgue.
