Passersby were thrown into shock on Saturday evening after a coffin was spotted abandoned by the roadside along the busy Kisumu-Kakamega Highway.
The black coffin, with visible metallic handles and ornamentation, lay eerily on the shoulder of the road, drawing the attention of motorists and pedestrians alike.
A video shared online showed the coffin sitting unattended, prompting widespread concern and speculation from the public.
One caption on the circulating clip read, “The saddest thing I have seen today,” capturing the emotional weight of the scene.
Social media users questioned whether the coffin had someone inside, with many expressing shock, confusion, and sorrow over the bizarre discovery.
Local authorities have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
However, unverified reports suggest the coffin may have fallen from a moving hearse or transport vehicle en route to a burial site.
The identity of the individual, if any, inside the coffin remains unknown.
