Kenyan US-Based Man Who Pleaded for Help Dies 8 Days Later While in ICU

A Kenyan man based in the United States who reportedly appealed for help while fighting for his life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has sadly died, eight days after suffering a serious brain hemorrhage that left his family and friends desperately hoping for his recovery.

Richard Kisang, aged 55, passed away on Monday, November 9, 2026, after doctors made efforts to save his life following the medical emergency.

According to information shared by people close to the family, Richard began feeling weak and dizzy while attending a church service on Sunday, November 1. As his condition deteriorated, he reportedly requested a friend to drive him home.

However, things took a tragic turn later that evening when he suddenly collapsed and was rushed to Frederick Health Hospital for emergency medical attention.

Medical examinations revealed that Richard had suffered a brain hemorrhage, prompting doctors to arrange an emergency transfer to the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.

He was airlifted to the facility, where doctors performed emergency brain surgery as they tried to save his life.

Despite spending eight days under intensive medical care, Richard’s condition did not improve, and he eventually succumbed, leaving his loved ones devastated.

Originally from Kowow Village in Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kenya, Richard had been living in Frederick, Maryland, where he had established his life.

His death has left his wife, Carolyn Israel Kisang, relatives and friends in both Kenya and the United States mourning the loss of a loved one.

His body is currently being preserved at Resthaven Funeral Home in Frederick, Maryland, as the family makes arrangements for his final send-off.
