POSTMORTEM REVEALS RITA TININA SUCCUMBED TO SEVERE PNEUMONIA

A postmortem procedure on the body of the late journalist Rita Tinina has revealed that she died of severe pneumonia. 

According to family spokesperson Timothy Njaga, the postmortem was conducted on Tuesday by government pathologist Peter Ndegwa and family pathologist Dr. Michaka.  “We have been told that Rita died of severe pneumonia and we are satisfied with the results,” said a family representative.

Tinina was found dead in her home at Brooklyn Springs Apartments in Kileleshwa, Nairobi on Sunday, March 19. The journalist was scheduled to be on duty at NTV to prepare for the 1pm bulletin but did not report to work resulting in her colleagues getting concerned. She rejoined NTV in October 2023, after working as a senior reporter at Standard Group’s KTN. 

She is survived by her nine-year-old daughter.
