| BBC Africa, Nairobi | |
| An autopsy has revealed that Kenya's world marathon record | |
| holder Kelvin Kiptum died from severe head injuries in a road accident earlier this month. | |
| Kenya’s chief government pathologist Johanssen Odour told local media that the injuries were | |
| consistent with those suffered in motor vehicle accidents. | |
| The 24-year-old rising star and his Rwandan coach Gervais Hakizimana were killed in a late-night accident on 11 February near his home in north-western Kenya. | |
| Hakizimana funeral is under way in Rwanda. | |
| Kiptum will be laid to rest on Friday at his | |
| home village, Chepkorio in Elgeyo-Marakwet County, in what is expected to be a | |
| state event. | |
| Kiptum rose to fame last year when he won the Chicago marathon and set a new | |
| world record of 2:00:35. | |
| He beat the previous record held by | |
| compatriot Eliud Kipchoge by 34 seconds – setting Kiptum up as Kipchoge’s main rival for the | |
| 2024 season. | |
| The two had been named in Kenya’s provisional marathon team for | |
| the Paris Olympics later this year. | |
| His team had announced that Kiptum | |
| would attempt to run the 42km distance in under two hours at the Rotterdam | |
| marathon - a feat that has never been achieved in open competition. | |
