A police officer who had been missing from work was found dead in his house in Industrial Area police residence, Nairobi.
Constable Peter Munene of Central Police Station in Nairobi had not reported to work for a day.
His neighbours too said they had not seen him leave the house on Thursday.
This prompted the colleagues to knock on the door with no response, police said.
They later broke into the house where his lifeless body was found lying on the bed.
The body did not have any physical injuries by the time it was found and moved to the mortuary pending autopsy.
Police said they are investigating to establish if he died out of natural causes or suicide.
This comes days after another officer died by suicide at the Kiganjo police college, Nyeri.
The officer was found dead after he shot himself in the chin on Monday, November 18 morning.
