He was alone at the time of the incident. The officials who rushed to the scene said Jook has been in Nairobi for long.
Central police boss Mark Wanjala said they were called by the bank security and informed of an incident where a VIP had collapsed and died before they informed the relevant agencies for action.
“The cause of the death is yet to be established. We will know after an autopsy is conducted,” he said.
