Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 65568, member: 636"] Kimani Mbugua maintained contact with his father before his death and expressed confidence about returning to journalism after recovering from bipolar disorder. Dedan Kimathi collected his son's body from a Mombasa mortuary on Tuesday and described receiving messages about stabilization and career plans. The 29-year-old former Citizen TV journalist left a suicide note at a rehabilitation center stating he had chosen to rest. Mbugua worked at Nation Media Group before joining Citizen TV and gained recognition for feature stories and lifestyle segments. Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and media personality Oga Obinna supported his treatment, but relapses interrupted his progress. Kimathi confirmed that closed-circuit television footage documented the death and verified the handwriting in the suicide note. The family scheduled burial services for Oct. 28 in Maragua, Murang'a County. [/QUOTE]
