A man on Thursday morning slid and died after falling down from the balcony of their house in Nairobi's Mlango Kubwa area.
The man was walking along the corridor when he slid and fell head to the ground, dying on the spot.
Police were called and took the body to City Mortuary.
A neighbour said the man whose identity has not yet been revealed slid on the corridor that was wet as rain continues to pound most parts of the country.
Nairobi area is among areas that received heavy rain on Thursday, flooding most parts of the city.
"He was walking from his house and maybe he was going down to the shop when he slid," the neighbour, Samson Mutinda told police at the incident scene.
The floor at the balcony was wet, we suspect that is what may have caused the accident."
He said the man suffered a fractured forehead and that the deceased may have experienced internal head bleeding before he died.
Mlango Kubwa area in Nairobi is poorly drained and most rain water finds it way into people's houses especially those who do not live in flats or story buildings.
