A middle aged man on Saturday committed suicide by jumping into the Indian ocean at the Nyali bridge, Mombasa.

It remains unclear what led to the shocking incident.

According to locals the young man walked to the Nyali bridge and stopped for a moment before flying into the Indian ocean, sending other pedestrians into shock and disbelief.

Divers and other disaster management officials from the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS), Mombasa branch and from the Mombasa county government swung into action hopping to save the man’s life.

However, the rescue team only managed to remove a lifeless body from the Indian ocean and took it the Coast general hospital, morgue.

Police are investigating what may have triggered the young man to take away his own life.

In April, a woman parked her car at the Nyali bridge and killed herself by jumping into the Indian ocean.
