Tom Maliti, chairman of the Kwani Trust, told The Associated Press and The Guardian Wainaina died Tuesday night after an illness in Nairobi, Kenya's capital.

Gee I wonder what that illness might have been.

Purely economic factors

Lack of access to programs and education.

Pneumonia! (technically)

They often die of that.

He died of complications from racism

There wasn't enough hospital beds in Kenya due to global warming I hear.

The following years brought health problems for Wainaina, who suffered a stroke in 2015 and announced that he was HIV-positive in 2016.

They really buried the lead.
