The daughter of the late veteran journalist Philip Ochieng Otani is dead.
According to the family, police found Juliett Akinyi Ochieng dead in her apartment in Dallas, Texas on Tuesday.
She had been missing for days, leading her close friend to file a missing person report.
Police went to her house after a missed call from a friend.
Her brother, Okello Ochieng said the family was still in shock over the news, revealing she had called sometime back unwell.
"She had earlier called and complained of mild stroke but later told us she was okay," he said.
Akinyi, who was referred to as the American daughter, was born and raised in the US by her maternal relatives.
She was born to Ochieng and an American mother before her parents divorced and her father moved back home.
Akinyi would not hear of her father until she was 35. She first reached out to him in 1997.
In 2016, she made a visit to Kenya to meet her father.
