The body of a 30-year-old man who reportedly drowned while swimming off the Kongo shoreline in Diani, Kwale County, has been recovered following a two-day search.

Kenya Navy officers found the body floating in the water today and handed it over to Diani police officers in the presence of the deceased’s family.

The man is reported to have drowned two days ago, triggering a search operation that continued until his body was located.

The body was later taken to Msambweni Hospital mortuary, where it awaits further procedures as police continue investigating the incident.

The circumstances surrounding the drowning have not been fully established.
