Thursday, February 28, 2019 - Celebrated Kenyan actor, Kone Nouhoum, has succumbed to spinal and neck injuries he sustained in a horrific accident five months ago.

Kone, who has featured in several local TV series including New beginnings, Mama Duka, This is Life, Joto and Mali passed away at the Nairobi Hospital's Intensive Care Unit after five months at the facility. He had sustained multiple spinal fractures during the accident and had been in and out of surgery since then. “Since his admission, doctors have been doing a procedure called bronchoscopy to clear his lungs every other day, but for the last one week they have not done it. We thank God for his improvement,” His wife, Jennifer Kimwati, said in interview recently. Following his accident, friends and family appealed for funds towards offsetting the staggering hospital bill that stood at Sh3.5 million at the time. The late actor, who is survived by his wife and son will be buried later today according to Muslim customs.
