Kenyan Online Community Mourns TikToker Liz Kamene’s Tragic Death
The Kenyan online community is grieving the sudden passing of popular TikToker Liz Kamene, known as KambaIcon, who died in a tragic accident.
Her untimely death has left many in shock, with social media flooded with tributes and speculation about the circumstances leading to the tragedy.
How the Tragedy Unfolded
According to reports, Kamene was involved in a horrific accident on March 11, near the Kariobangi Roundabout.
Eyewitnesses claim that she was using her phone when a thief snatched it and ran. In an attempt to chase the suspect, Kamene was struck by a speeding vehicle that fled the scene without stopping.
The accident’s impact was devastating—she reportedly lost a hand and a leg on the spot. The force of the collision also left her partially undressed, a distressing sight that deeply angered many Kenyans.
Bystanders and first responders were criticized for failing to cover her body, allowing disturbing images and videos to circulate online. This sparked outrage over the lack of dignity in handling accident victims.
Unanswered Questions and Calls for Justice
As news of Kamene’s passing spread, new details emerged, raising further questions about the incident.
While some believe it was a straightforward hit-and-run, others suspect there could be more to the story.
Concerned Kenyans have urged authorities to conduct a thorough investigation, including reviewing CCTV footage from nearby businesses.
Some have also questioned whether Kamene was on her way to work or returning home at the time, believing that clarifying these details could help piece together the true sequence of events.
Eerie Similarities to Brian Chira’s Death
Kamene’s tragic passing has drawn comparisons to the death of fellow TikTok star Brian Chira, who also lost his life in a road accident in March 2024.
Both were young rising stars, both died in March, and both were victims of reckless drivers who fled the scene.
Reports indicate that Chira had just disembarked from a motorbike in the early hours of March 16 when he ran onto the main road and was hit by an oncoming vehicle. He suffered severe head injuries and died instantly.
The unsettling parallels between their deaths have sparked concern within the TikTok community, with some content creators urging fans to pray for them. Many fear that the rising number of such tragic losses in the entertainment space is becoming an alarming trend.
