Why does Andrew Wasike's death remain a mystery?

According to Citizen TV, his wife recalled shortly before his death that he was in good health and had given details about his upcoming household chores.
“On that fateful night, we talked. He told me he had bought Chevon for dinner. A few hours later, I was informed that he had passed away and his body had been taken to the mortuary. I received a call,” Nakhla exclaimed.
Further expressing dissatisfaction, his mother Jessica Edwards stressed that Wasike had not mentioned any illness since his trip to the Middle Eastern state.

“We were shocked because our son has never been sick in Qatar. He always calls us to let us know he is healthy and that his work is going well. I was thanking God for that,” a shocked Jessica added.
The family's grief has been compounded by a dispute over Andrew's final payment, which is believed to be causing delays in the entire process.
What's delaying Andrew Wasike's return?
It was revealed that even though Jessica went to Nairobi to sign important transportation documents, a certain woman was blocking her son's physical movements by withholding approvals.
“The mother went to Nairobi and all the paperwork was completed. We were assured that we would receive the body by early January, but to date the body has not been delivered. They keep telling us that there is a woman” to sign to let go of the body. ”
Frustrated by the refusal, Wasike's wife contacted the government, asking for intervention to help her husband become more mobile. Although she did not know the cause of his death, she said they accepted the tragedy.
