Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) women's volleyball team coach Daniel Bor is dead.
Officials said Constable Bor collapsed and died as he was training at the Magadi General Service Unit’s National Police College - Magadi Field Campus.
Bor was among hundreds of other officers on training sessions and was on a route march exercise when he collapsed on Saturday, March 30 evening.
He was rushed and attended at the camp dispensary and thereafter referred to Magadi Tata hospital for further treatment but succumbed at around 7 pm while undergoing treatment.
The route march involves climbing hilly places and jogging which is intense to some given the location. The area is one of the hottest places in the country.
A doctor’s report said he suffered heatstroke.
Heatstroke is a condition caused by your body overheating, usually as a result of prolonged exposure to or physical exertion in high temperatures.
The body was moved to the Kenyatta University morgue pending autopsy.
Police said they are investigating the incident that shook his other colleagues at the training camp.
Bor was a celebrated coach of the DCI volleyball team. His colleagues mourned him as a hardworking and dedicated officer.
He was among about 513 junior officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who had embarked on a crush training program that would harden them ahead of deployment.
The Director DCI Mohamed Amin, flanked by the Commandant General Service Unit Eliud Lagat and other senior officers from the DCI and GSU officiated the opening of Police Constables to Corporals and Corporals to Sergeants promotional courses for the officers of the DCI at the National Police College - Magadi Field Campus.
This is the first time in the history of the DCI that the Directorate is training its officers for promotions.
The officers will undergo a vigorous four-month training under the instructions of trainers drawn from the DCI, who will ensure that they stand ready to take up new responsibilities once they are made up.
