One of Marcia’s companions Arnold Mutisya succumbed to injuries while Maureen Kogi, Stephen Musyoki, Derrick Mills and Marcia Wawira were rushed to Shalom Hospital for first emergency treatment before getting transferred to Nairobi West Hospital.
Stephen and Maureen were released after treatment as they had minor injuries but Derrick and Marcia had to stay longer for further treatment. Sadly, Marcia tragically succumbed to her injuries
According to Daystar University’s publication called Involvement, “Marcia’s knee had been hurt badly and so the doctors decided to do a surgery on the knee. After the surgery, she couldn’t wake up. She was then taken to the ICU where she was under oxygen support but unfortunately, she couldn’t make it.”
