A Kenyan Dies In A Pool In Florida.
A Kenyan, Duncan Njoroge Mungai drowned in a swimming pool in Ft Lauderdale FL on 22nd June 2008. According to Pastor Tony Wainaina of Empowerment Christian center, Duncan was working for a South African truck (individual) operator in Dallas Texas and had gone to Ft Lauderdale Florida to deliver a load. They arrived on a weekend hence missed the appointment and though the initial plan was to drop the load and go back to Dallas, they were forced to stay in Ft. Lauderdale .They checked into one of the hotels and it is during the stay that Duncan was found dead in the swimming pool.
Duncan came to US in on a green card in march 2007.He was under 21 years old when he won the card and due to his age, he could not get the green card without a sponsor so through his uncle, the family contacted Naomi and Francis Kanyugi of Manassas VA who arranged for a sponsor. When Duncan arrived in the US, he stayed with Naomi and Francis until May of 2007 when he moved to Dallas texas.
Mr.Davis Kinyeki of Freight Expressed who employed Duncan for few months say that He was a nice honest man and full of life, he is one of the people who are now organizing for ways and means to take the body back to Kenya.
