[Photo: kenya-today.com]The late Makueni Senator Mutula Kilonzo may not have died of massive bleeding caused by high blood pressure as a government report that was released on Thursday stated.New details that have emerged from e-mail correspondences seen by the Sunday Nation between Kenyan pathologists and their UK counterpart Ian Calder, who had been hired by the family, show a different story.On Thursday, Dr S.W. Mwangi told a Machakos court that Mr Kilonzo had failed to wake up from his sleep and that the blood pressure had been exacerbated by a decongestant and caffeine that the former senator had taken.However, sources close to Kilonzo, the paper reports, said he was never known to consume carbonated drinks or caffeine, “and would never take it even if you offered it when he was really hungry."A pathologist, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, but who had details about the case and who saw the body, has told the Sunday Nation that the politician may have come into contact with a lethal poison.“He may have ingested poison because he was bleeding from everywhere. The only way to be sure was through the toxicology exams," he says.The results from this post-mortem raise questions about the high blood pressure theory.The hearing at the Machakos court came abruptly on Thursday, after being cold for more than three-and-a-half years.The first doctor to arrive at the scene was Dr Mwangi, a general practitioner. He told the court on Thursday that Mutula had bled and vomited, an observation backed by a pathologist who participated in the initial post-mortem. The Senator died on April 27, 2013 at his Maanzoni home.
