Monday, August 12, 2024 - A Kenyan man identified as George Jerry Mboya alias Kobi has passed on, days after he was filmed in the United States of America pleading for help.
Mboya was filmed by a fellow Kenyan while stranded in the streets after reportedly losing everything and being kicked out of his rented house.
“I lost everything” the distressed man was heard saying in
the video before breaking down.
He revealed that he was battling liver disease and asked for
assistance to get a hotel room.
Sadly, he passed away before he could get help.
George reportedly took his own life, days after a video of him
pleading for help was shared online.
A eulogy circulating online shows that he died on 31st
July.
We understand that he moved to the US 10 years ago and he
was doing well before alcoholism took a toll on him.
He leaves behind two children- a boy and a girl.
His body was cremated on Friday and the remains will be
transported to Kenya for burial.
