Another story saddened many people as a middle-aged man, Joshua Mwangi, sadly died and was found all alone in his house.

Kariuki, who was in the army, left to start life outside, and everything was okay until his wife died; things started changing.

To add salt to the injury, things became worse when he was diagnosed with a Grade Four cancer.

The children of the middle-aged man had scattered to different places within the US after the demise of their mother. The man's second wife also took off to the Philippines with his youngest child.
