2008 Beijing Olympic marathon champion died

 Samuel Wanjiru, 2008 Beijing Olympic marathon champion, died after falling from the top floor of his home in Nyahururu, central Kenya.

Foreign media outlets quote police as saying that there was a quarrel between the runner and his wife Triza Njeri moments before he leaped to his death.

Nyandarua police chief Jasper Ombati said Wanjiru had come home at 11pm with a female friend after a social evening before the wife unexpectedly showed up moments later.
