In an interesting turn of events, actress Tabitha Gatwiri’s death has now been linked to an accidental drug overdose and health complications contrary to earlier reports.
Initial reports suggested various causes, ranging from stress to food poisoning, but emerging details paint a more complex picture.
A source close to Gatwiri’s family has revealed that the deceased had been battling health complications following a car accident she was involved in last year alongside her brother, Brian.
The siblings were traveling from Meru to Nairobi when their car rolled over in Sagana and was written off.
Despite the severity of the crash, neither sought medical attention, as they believed they had no injuries.
Months later, Gatwiri began experiencing symptoms resembling epilepsy, including seizures and sudden falls.
According to a source close to the family, one such incident occurred while Gatwiri was at home with her boyfriend, Dave, and her mother.
This alarming episode prompted her family to ensure she was never left alone.
“Her sisters stayed with her to provide care, but on the day she passed away, they weren’t around,” the source disclosed.
Tragically, Gatwiri was found unresponsive at her home while her boyfriend was away in Kisumu for work.
Medical reports indicate that Gatwiri died due to a lack of oxygen supply to the brain.
The actress also reportedly relied on painkillers to manage her condition, which may have contributed to her death.
The family’s source shared that Gatwiri’s health challenges after the accident were a turning point.
“The car accident might have caused an internal injury that was never diagnosed. Afterward, she developed seizures but didn’t feel the need to seek medical treatment,” they said.
The family remains devastated by the loss, as fans and colleagues remember Gatwiri’s vibrant personality and creative contributions.
While her death leaves many questions, her legacy as a talented actress and content creator endures.
Investigation and autopsy reports regarding the death of actress and content creator Tabitha Gatwiri have intimated, that she may have died from other reasons other than the ones that have been flouted online.
There are people who have claimed that she died out of stress going by her last video, some have claimed that she even died out of food poisoning and so on.
But a source now reveals that Gatwiri has fallen down one day when her mother was at her house and that everyone was shocked.
That her sisters were forced to stay and take care of her after that, though on the fateful days she met her death, they were not around.
From the doctors report, Gatwiri died due to lack of oxygen supply to the brain and that she also used to take a lot of painkillers which eventually contributed to her death.
Also, it is said that they got into an accident with her brother back in the year but never went for checkup as they didn’t have any physical injuries. So maybe she got an internal injury them.
A source close to Gatwiri’s family revealed that when she was found dead, her boyfriend, Dave, was away in Kisumu for work.
The source intimidated that Gatwiri was involved in an accident last year with her brother, Brian, in Sagana on their way back from Meru to Nairobi but never went to the hospital for checkups.
“The car rolled over and was written off, but they didn’t go to hospital assuming they had no injuries. Three months after the accident, Gatwiri developed a certain condition like epilepsy. She used to fall badly and have seizures,” the source shared.
The source said Gatwiri didn’t feel obligated to go to the hospital for treatment, despite some believing it was the right thing to do.
The source revealed that one day, Gatwiri fell while at home in the presence of her boyfriend and mom and this led to the family always wanting her to never be alone at any time.
“Her sisters were forced to go stay with her, but the day she died, they weren’t around. Doctors revealed she died due to lack of oxygen to the brain and used to take a lot of painkillers which might have contributed to her death,” the source said.
