The autopsy report for veteran comedian Fred Omondi has been released, providing clarity on the cause of his tragic death. 

Omondi, a beloved figure in the Kenyan comedy scene, died in a devastating accident on June 15 along Kang'undo Road. 

The details from the autopsy have highlighted the severe injuries he sustained, which ultimately led to his untimely demise.

Fred Omondi was riding a boda boda when the tragic accident occurred. The motorcycle collided head-on with a matatu, causing catastrophic injuries. 

According to Ken Waudo, a Laugh Industry Board Member and Churchill Show director, the impact was exceptionally forceful. 

"The metal of the matatu is curved, indicating a very strong impact," Waudo explained while addressing the press.

The autopsy results revealed the extent of Omondi's injuries. His skull was severely cracked, and he sustained multiple fractures on the right side of his body.

"He had a cracked skull, and the matatu had also pulled him, resulting in numerous fractures on his legs, hands, and ribs," Waudo detailed. 

These injuries were so severe that they led to his immediate death. Waudo dismissed any speculations circulating online about the circumstances leading to Fred's death. 

He emphasized that the fatal blow was to Fred's head when his skull hit the road. "If he had survived, he would have been left in a vegetative state. His spine was also cracked," Waudo added, highlighting the devastating nature of the accident.
