Kenyan dies at US varsity

A Kenyan student has died at a university in the United States.

Mr Francis Kamau Gikaru, 30, a first-year medical student at Kennesaw State University, Atlanta, was walking from the institution’s clinic to class when he collapsed on Tuesday.

He was pronounced dead moments later at Kennestone hospital. A relative said Mr Kamau had gone to the clinic for allergy medication.

He moved to the US in May last year together with his wife Jane Wanjiru Kamau, when he got a Green Card. The couple have a one-year-old son, Brian.
