Medical experts reportedly dismissed speculation that Gatwiri was poisoned, attributing her death to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. Tragically, her brother discovered her lifeless body, while her boyfriend of four years, Dave, was away in Kisumu at the time of the incident.
Gatwiri was found dead on October 30, leaving family, friends, and fans in shock as they mourn her loss and seek answers about the circumstances surrounding her passing.
How Did Tabitha Gatwiri Die?
Speculation surrounding the death of actress Tabitha Gatwiri has left many shocked, with some initially claiming she may have been poisoned. However, a source close to her family offered a different account, shedding light on her final moments.
The source revealed that Gatwiri’s boyfriend, Dave, was away in Kisumu on a work trip when she was found dead. They also disclosed that Gatwiri had been involved in a car accident last year alongside her brother, Brian, while traveling from Meru to Nairobi via Sagana.

This revelation has deepened the mystery surrounding her death, prompting questions about her health in the months leading up to the tragedy.
“The car rolled over and was written off, but they didn’t go to hospital assuming they had no injuries. Three months after the accident, Gatwiri developed a certain condition like epilepsy. She used to fall badly and have seizures,” the source shared.
The source revealed that Gatwiri chose not to seek hospital treatment after the accident, despite some believing it would have been the best course of action.
They also shared that on one occasion, Gatwiri collapsed at home in the presence of her boyfriend and mother. This incident left her family deeply concerned, prompting them to ensure she was never left alone thereafter.
“Her sisters were forced to go stay with her, but the day she died, they weren’t around. Doctors revealed she died due to lack of oxygen to the brain and used to take a lot of painkillers which might have contributed to her death,” the source said.
