A former street man who was rescued by his ex-classmate died on Sunday morning.
The story of Patrick Hinga went viral in 2017 after his former classmate Faith Nganga shared her encounter with him.
After meeting him in the streets, Nganga recognised him and took it upon herself to see him join a rehabilitation centre.
However, on Sunday morning, Nganga took to Facebook to share the bad news.
“With deep sorrow, I want to inform you that Hinga has rested. He passed on this morning. I don't have the strength to say much right now. R.I.P my friend,” she wrote on Facebook.
It was a heartbreak for the lady when she met Hinga in the streets whom she said that they were classmates back in 1992.
She organised and had him admitted to a rehabilitation centre where he stayed for eight months.
She followed his recovery process and would later share photos of Hinga’s improved self which wowed many netizens who lauded her efforts.
It is still not clear what killed Hinga, but Faith Nganga promised to share more details soon.
