Actor Kone Nouhoum on Thursday morning succumbed to injuries after 5months of treatment following a grisly accident that had left him paralysed.

The actor had been admitted at Nairobi Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit in October last year after an accident at the Ol Karia geothermal spa in Naivasha.

During an interview with Nation.co.ke last year, his wife Jennifer Kimwati said Kone sustained injuries on his neck and spinal code and had been in and out of surgery since the accident happened.

After the accident, Kone could not talk because his diaphragm was also injured and he had to breathe through a ventilator.

“Since his admission, doctors have been doing a procedure called bronchoscopy to clear his lungs every other day, but for the last one week they have not managed to do it.

The mother revealed that Kone had no sensations from the neck down and could not move, but he could smile and recognise people.

In November, family and fellow actors held a funds drive to raise money for his hospital bill.

The actor starred and featured in many local TV series like “New beginnings”, “Mama Duka”, “This is Life”, “Joto”, “Mali” and most recently in his character as Reagan in Maisha Magic East telenovela “Selina”.

Kone is survived by his wife and son. He will be buried later today according to Muslim customs.
