A 17-year-old boy with hearing and sight impairment died in a fire incident in Kakelo Dudi Sublocation, Homa Bay County.
The fire broke in his bedroom on Tuesday, February 11 as he slept alone killing him.
The cause of the fire is yet to be established.
A relative said he heard a loud bang from the room before the fire broke out.
The body was moved to Ranchuonyo County Hospital mortuary awaiting autopsy.
Police said they have opened a fire inquiry into the incident.
Elsewhere, three suspected suicide incidents were separately reported in the country.
The first incident happened when a 26-year-old woman was found dead after she had died by suspected suicide in her room in Akiba estate, Nairobi.
Jelagat Kiprono is alleged to have locked herself in her bedroom before hanging herself.
The motive of the incident is yet to be known. The body was discovered Wednesday evening hours after she had locked herself there and had refused to respond to calls and texts.
Her elder sister sensed something was wrong and alerted security at the estate who later discovered the woman was dead.
Police were called to the scene and helped to move the body to the mortuary pending autopsy and other investigations.
Two other suicide cases were reported in Kitui and Kisii Counties, police said.
In Kitui’s Kyethani location, the body of David Nzoka, 59, was found after allegedly hanging himself on a tree using a manila rope on the outskirts of Karura shopping centre.
Police said the body, which had no visible physical injuries, was removed to the mortuary awaiting postmortem.
No suicide note was recovered and the motive is yet to be established.
In Kisii’s Menyinkwa area, Nyaura sub-location, the body of James Aminga, 33, was found hanging on roof rafters inside the bedroom of his semi-permanent house with a manila string tied around his neck.
Police said no suicide note was recovered and the body was moved to the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary awaiting autopsy.
Suicide cases have been on the rise amid calls for urgent action to address them.
