DJ Lithium.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Capital FM DJ Alex Nderi, known as DJ Lithium, is dead. <\/p>\n

Kilimani OCS Muturi Mbogo confirmed to the Standard that the DJ was pronounced dead on arrival at the Nairobi Hospital. <\/p>\n

Mbogo said the DJ was rushed to the facility after he collapsed at Capital FM offices located at Lonroh House in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD). <\/p>\n

Some of Nderi’s colleagues intimated that the DJ collapsed after ingesting poison. They tried to resuscitate him to no success. <\/p>\n

Nderi is said to have left behind a suicide note whose contents are under review. <\/p>\n

The 34-year-old hosted the Club Capital show, on Fridays, from 11:00pm to 2:00am as well as Jam the same day from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. <\/p>\n

A postmortem is expected to be conducted later in the day. <\/p>\n

Capital FM reported that Lithium\u2019s family was notified of the emergency and arrived in hospital shortly after where they were fully briefed. <\/p>\n

The circumstances surrounding Alex\u2019s death have been taken over by relevant authorities, the station\u2019s management said and called on staff and the public to accord the family privacy. <\/p>\n

\u201cAlex was a great addition to the larger Capital FM team, encompassing great talent as a DJ, producer and possessed an interesting \u201dright wing\u201d sense of humour,\u201d Danny Munyi, Capital FM\u2019s Programmes Director said. <\/p>\n

\u201cTo honour him we will celebrate him for the passion he had for this company, his direct breakfast team, his fellow mixmasters and cherish the moments we shared with him.\u201d <\/p>\n
