Standard Group fraternity woke up to sad news this morning of a staff member who collapsed at the office and later died while undergoing treatment last evening. The male staff, who works in finance and manages the payroll, collapsed just after visiting the toilet.
It’s not immediately clear what caused the collapse but a colleague who found him lying unconscious next to the finance offices washrooms said attempts to resuscitate him were fruitless.
“At some point he came back and told the doc that he was in pain,” said the colleague. “When I got to the scene he was lying on the floor along the corridor next to the washrooms at Finance. I felt a faint pulse when I touched his neck but he quickly faded away with time. Not even paramedics could save him….he was long gone to be with the Lord.”
The incident comes barely a month after word went round that the Standard Group CEO Sam Shollei had developed health complications while working in his office and was rushed to hospital. The two cases are isolated, however.
The company has been implementing a radical overhaul of its personnel in a programme that has seen close to 100 employees leave the company through voluntary retirement and redundancy.
BusinessToday sends its condolences to Standard Group staff, management and the family of the deceased.
