A man on Wednesday died after consuming excess Chang'aa on an empty stomach. Edwin Mulamba from Wamalicha village, Bumula constituency was found lying unconscious by neighbours.
Isaac Kasili, his elder brother, said: "I informed the area assistant chief who called an ambulance from Bungoma to rush him to the hospital."
"But when the vehicle arrived thirty minutes later, we found him already dead," he said. Kasili said that his brother did not have any health issues despite being a drunkard.
He said Mulamba resorted to heavy drinking due to stress after his wife left him about a year and a half ago.
"The boy must have resorted to drinking owing to his parents marital problems," a neighbour said. "It is sad that we have lost such a young man who was not sick but because of poor drinking."
Cases of youths collapsing and dying due to excessive drinking have been an increase in the county. Police took his body to Bungoma county referral hospital mortuar.
