He died on Tuesday after spending a week in intensive care Unit at AAR Hospital following a road crash. 

According to tributes seen by Nation.Africa, Namenya left home for errands in Kasarani on Tuesday, March 18, 2025.

"Tragically, while driving back, his car suffered a tyre burst along Thika Road, causing it to veer off and collide with the guardrails. When police arrived, Elvis was found unconscious and was immediately rushed to AAR Hospital for urgent medical care."

His condition was assessed as critical, requiring emergency surgeries, after which he was placed in the Intensive Care Unit for observation. He eventually succumbed to cardiac arrest.

Before his death, Namenya was a Business Studies student at Africa Nazarene University and was set to graduate in June 2025.

Elachi’s party, ODM, also shared a message of sympathy to her and her family.

A memorial service will be held at Holy Trinity Church, Kileleshwa, on March 28, 2025.
