It has now been revealed that ODM leader Raila Odinga was suffering from a number of ailments and health issues when he died early Wednesday. This is according to medics at Devamatha Hospital in Southern India, where he was transported after collapsing due to a heart arrest.
According to the CPR specialist who treated him, subsequent examinations revealed that Raila was diabetic, had kidney difficulties, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in the right leg, and had a history of collapsing. The main medic also reported that after being rushed in, they attempted to save him using the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) protocol and other strategies, but were unable.
“We continued CPR and other procedures, but we could not save him. We are terribly sorry he is no longer with us. And we extend our heartfelt sympathies and prayers to his family and the Kenyan people,” the doctor said. Raila had been having treatment at the Sreedhareeyam Ayurvedic Eye Hospital and Research Centre when she reportedly fell while walking.
