A 42-year-old man on Sunday hanged himself in Maiuni village, Machakos County.
The man who hails from Nyandarua County had come to visit his lover over the weekend.
Area assistant chief Dominic Matheka said that the man waited for the lover to go to the shop and then hanged himself.
Upon her return, she found the door locked from inside and on peeping through the window, she saw the body dangling from the roof.
"He had visited because he and his lover had stayed for long without seeing each other. She reported that she had gone to the shop but on coming back, she found him dead; he had hanged himself," said Matheka.
He said that the reason why the man decided to end his life is still unknown since he had argued with no one.
The chief urged residents to talk to their spouses who may seem troubled in a bid to prevent them from resorting to suicide.
His body was moved to Machakos Level Five Hospital mortuary for preservation awaiting burial.
