High-fashion model, Mercy Mokeira passed on the weekend past after a short illness. Her family revealed that she was suffering from the Marples disease
An
inherited genetic disorder that is characterized by the body's inability to
break down amino acids.
We have chanced upon the
very last message that the beauty queen posted before she succumbed in hospital
She
underwent several tests but doctors from different hospitals could not
establish what was ailing her, despite her feeling weak all the time and losing
weight.
After
further tests he was asked to send the samples to Lancet Group of laboratories
in Nairobi for further scrutiny.
He
was forced to leave Mokeira, who could no longer walk with her sister. He
learnt of her death while waiting for her lab results.
“On Saturday morning, I
was yet to receive the results. Her sister told me Mercy had woken up well but
she was complaining of excessive body heat. At around 4:00pm Saturday, her
sister called me on phone while crying and told me that Mokeira had not been
talking and was pronounced dead at 11:30 am. I called a doctor at North
Kinangop Hospital who confirmed the heartbreaking news.”
The
late Mokeira was the founder of M&M models.
The
fashion and modelling fraternity will hold vigil for her at the Uhuru Park
Gardens on Tuesday, January 31.
