A postmortem into Kilonzo's death found "serious internal bleeding characteristic with poisoning" according to reports.[1] However, in late 2014, an inquest was launched after it emerged that toxicology samples to establish the source of the poisoning had been tampered with. In 2020, the inquest concluded that Kilonzo's death had not been due to foul play.
In June 2017, an official government report on Kilonzo's death was released, citing "massive haemorrhage into the chest and cranial cavity" as the cause of death.[2]
