Doctor: Mother of quintuplets died of heart conditionA Kakamega woman who gave birth to quintuplets died of peripartum cardiomyopathy, a fatal heart condition that affects women after delivery. An autopsy conducted at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital Mortuary (MTRH) yesterday evening established that the body of Everline Namukhula (pictured), who died on Sunday, showed indications that point towards the heart condition. We ruled out blood clots, but we established that her heart was mildly enlarged,” Dr Macharia said. Namukhula's father Kassim Khalelecha said his family is poor and can't afford to give his deceased daughter and her two boys a send-off and take care of seven children left behind by his daughter. "My wife and I are peasant farmers and we have no resources to transport her body from Eldoret to Kakamega for burial.
