Ugandan Olympic athlete Rebecca Cheptegei has died at a Kenyan hospital where she was being treated for burns over 80% of her body from an attack by her partner
Cheptegei suffered multiple organ failure last week and passed away days after she sustained 80% burns when ex-boyfriend Dickson Ndiema threw petrol on her and set her alight
A man accused of dousing gasoline on an Ugandan Olympic athlete, causing her death days later, has succumbed to burns sustained in the attack, according to the Kenyan hospital where he was treated.
