Peter Kiplangat Kigen, the man who shocked many on Wednesday ,25 November after he regained consciousness while in a mortuary in Kapkatet Hospital, Kericho County has spoken out after a three-hour ordeal in a mortuary. The man who was speaking while in hospital bed told journalists that he was in big shock to find out that he had been pronounced dead.

“I’m still in shock. How did the doctors establish that I was dead,” he questioned.

However ,Kigen was, expressed his happiness to be alive saying that he would pursue church ministry once he was completely healed.

“When I regained consciousness, I did not know where I was. I thank God because he spared my life and I will live to serve him,” he stated.

Kigen’s younger brother Kevin Kipkirui explained that Kigen had been rushed to the hospital by the family after he collapsed at his home on Tuesday morning, November 24.Upon arrival at the facility, a nurse in the hospital is said to have pronounced him dead on arrival.

“When we arrived at the casualty department, we met a doctor who asked us to register the details of the patient at the reception while he attended to him. When I went back to the casualty department at around 7.45 pm, I learnt my brother was dead. A nurse told me that he died long before we arrived at the hospital,” Kipkirui stated.


However, the hospital’s medical superintendent Gilbert Cheruiyot gave a different account of the decision that led to Kigen’s transfer to the mortuary. He alleged that the Kigen’s relatives did not wait for a go ahead to take him to the mortuary from a physician.

“His relatives presumed he was dead and did not even wait for certification of death. They moved him to the mortuary on their own. At the time Kigen and his family came to the hospital, clinical officers were busy attending to other critically ill patients,” Cheruiyot stated.


Morticians are said to have kicked off the process of preparing the body for preservation by making an incision on his right leg to infuse formalin. The man is said to have screamed in reaction to the pain of the incision forcing the people who were around to scamper for safety.

This incident raised questions among Kenyans with many saying such cases are on the rise as people are being quickly presumed to be dead quickly. Many related this to a case where a man coughed in a matutu and was pronounced dead, put in a body bag a few days ago without even anybody bothering to check his pulse if he was alive or dead .
