Other detailed reports indicated that at the time when the ICC suspect was reported to be dead, his wife, son visiting from the UK, his father-in-law and staff were present in the house. 

Gicheru was said to have died some hours after lunch. His relatives discovered him in his bedroom as froth started to develop in his mouth.
According to reports, the son found his father unconscious on his bed after he had complained about feeling sick for several hours.

Later, the son is alleged to have called the mother to see how the father was doing. At this point, paramedics from a local hospital were contacted to come and save the situation.

After learning of his father's passing, Gicheru's son fell and was taken to the hospital, where he is currently recovering.

Senior Counsel John Khaminwa, who spoke to the media on September 26, said that the family had not yet decided when the postmortem would take place. He further urged the Nation to refute claims that the late advocate was poisoned.

"It appears as if Paul Gicheru was not himself, he was in a stressful condition. That's what I'm able to gather. What I'm reading on social media is that he probably ate some food and so on it doesn't appear to be so.

"The best we can do is not to make reckless allegations. Let us find out what the investigators will come up with. We may decide to have a postmortem to look at the internal organs of his body," the lawyer expressed.
