The 26-year-old man's body was finally found after he tripped and plunged into Gicheru Water Falls in Kirinyaga County.

The body of Fidel Omondi Otieno was found Thursday at 6:30 p.m. by local divers working with police officers and the locals, according to Gichugu Sub-County Police Commander Edward Ndirangu.

According to the police commander, Omondi, who manages a guesthouse in Nairobi's Lavington neighborhood, was one of six city residents who traveled to the Kiringa River waterfalls.

Gicheru is said to have fallen into the waters while taking a shot on a tourist trip to the falls.
