A requiem mass for late singer Eric Okoth Onguru a.k.a Kunguru was held on Wednesday ahead of his burial in Siaya county.
The cause of death for the singer, who died on March 19, 2023, had not been publicly revealed until his requiem mass.
The family revealed that Kunguru breathed his last while receiving treatment at a Nairobi hospital, where he had been admitted for the past few weeks.
Kunguru sought treatment in several hospitals to save his life until he breathed his last due to liver failure on Sunday 19 at 2 pm.
Speaking during the requiem mass at the Montenzuma and Monalisa Funeral Home in Kibra Constituency, Alego Usonga MP Samuel Atandi said he worked in the political field with the late.
“We are going to bury a man who was multitalented. Eric was a banker, a politician, a musician among more,” MP Atandi said.
During the funeral, family members, friends and artistes led by Mr Lenny, who did a collabo with the late, mourned him as a man full of joy.
Mr Lenny gave a touching tribute and sang his hit collabo ‘Baby Don’t Go’ which he featured the deceased.
