“This is really a sad way to start the week. It is a bitter pill to swallow but then we cannot question God’s plans… My deepest condolences to family and friends of Kasee. Safiri salama,” Laugh Industry director and top comedian Daniel Ndambuki alias Churchill said.
A postmortem was conducted on his body to establish the cause of death, but the findings were inconclusive.
