Before her untimely passing, Shosh had openly shared with her devoted fans that she was unwell and expressed her intention to resume her presence on the platform once she had recovered.
On May 31, 2023, the content creator shared her last video appearing weak, confined to a wheelchair and told her fans, “I have fallen sick, don’t think I have gone missing, mimi sijapotea, nikipona tutaonana. Mungu ni mwema (I have not gone missing, once I feel better, I shall be back. God is good),” Shosh Wa Kinangop said a few weeks ago.
During a recent interview conducted by YouTuber Trudy, the daughter of Shosh Wa Kinangop shared the details of her mother’s health struggles.
According to her daughter, Shosh began experiencing chest pains in February, although her overall health had been fragile prior to that.
Concerned about her well-being, Shosh was admitted to the hospital, where medical professionals diagnosed her with fluid accumulation around her heart.
Unfortunately, it was this condition that ultimately led to her untimely passing.
