Mr Shiundu said the woman reported the man’s death at around 6am on Sunday.
He said her report indicated that the man died in the room after developing the breathing complications and sweating profusely.
“According to the woman, the man developed the complications at around 8pm. She says she tried to make calls for help after calling the night guards but the efforts were in vain. We will investigate the claims,” Mr Shiundu said.
“We found some liquor, a half-full bottle of Coca-Cola and an energy drink, which he had taken. There was no evidence of a struggle in the room,” he said, adding a post mortem would be conducted.

The body was taken to Rosewood Mortuary in Rongo town.
