The legendary Sean Cardovillis has been found dead outside his residence in Westlands, Nairobi. The untimely demise of the Capital FM personality has sent shockwaves through the sports community and his extensive fanbase.
The discovery took place on the morning of Saturday, September 9, as Sean Cardovillis’ lifeless body was found at the staircase leading to his fourth-floor apartment along Rhapta Road, Westlands. The commentator had been living alone reportedly.
It was a cleaner who stumbled upon the heartbreaking scene while attending to her duties. As she made her way towards Cardovillis’ residence, she found his lifeless body on the staircase. The circumstances surrounding his death remain shrouded in mystery, with authorities uncertain whether he was preparing to leave for work or had passed away the previous night.
Upon making the grim discovery, the cleaner immediately raised the alarm, prompting the arrival of both an ambulance and local law enforcement officials. Medical professionals at the scene declared Sean Cardovillis dead, and his body was subsequently transported to the mortuary.
Law enforcement officials have initiated an investigation into the tragic incident, though the cause of Cardovillis’ death remains unknown at this time.
The public’s last insight into Sean Cardovillis’ medical condition came in February 2022 when his family issued a plea for financial assistance online. He had been admitted to a High Dependency Unit (HDU) due to severe lung complications. The family’s statement indicated that what began as chest pains had escalated into pneumonia, causing one of his lungs to collapse, and he had also developed an infection around his heart.
Cardovillis, a devoted sports enthusiast and beloved member of the Capital FM family, was expected to be at work on the fateful Saturday afternoon. He had a highly anticipated interview scheduled with Faith Kipyegon, a multiple world and Olympic champion and triple world record holder.
Sean Cardovillis’ passion for motocross was well-known, and he had made a triumphant return to Capital FM in June 2023. His contributions to the world of sports commentary and journalism will be remembered and cherished by fans, colleagues, and the entire sports community.
Condolences to family, friends and fans, Rest In Peace.
