Charles Ouda, a beloved Kenyan television star and iconic actor, has dominated internet trends for over 24 hours. However, the reason his name has taken center stage is rather somber. On the morning of February 4th, 2024, news broke that he had passed away. Was he suffering from an illness? No. Had he been involved in a tragic accident? Not. Instead, according to reports, this talented thespian took his own life under circumstances that remain shrouded in mystery.
A week before this tragic event, Charles appeared lively on his social media accounts. His most recent public appearance was during a protest in the capital city of Nairobi, where he joined fellow Kenyans in voicing their concerns about the escalating cases of femicide. Charles and his girlfriend, Ciku Muiruri, passionately participated in the protests, with Charles passionately advocating for the cause. Little did anyone know that a week later, he would be the most talked-about figure in Kenya for an entirely different reason.
The burning question that lingers in the air is, what could have driven Charles to take such a drastic step? To uncover the truth, we must delve into the hidden demon that had been silently plaguing his life. Charles had enjoyed a successful acting career, dating back to his days in television series like “Makutano Junction.” However, he had concealed a dark secret from the public eye. It remains unclear when this malevolent force began to assert itself more overtly in his life, but a perusal of his social media profiles reveals that it started surfacing around 2017.

You may be wondering, what is this monster that we speak of? It is the insidious demon of addiction, particularly alcohol and smoking. This was the relentless adversary that Charles had been grappling with for decades. As anyone familiar with addiction knows, its telltale signs manifest in the eyes, mouth, and even the overall appearance of an individual. Looking at Charles, it became evident that the clutches of alcoholism ensnared him.
Following his untimely demise on February 4th, 2024, many of his fellow television stars confirmed his passing. Strangely, none of them were initially willing to divulge the circumstances surrounding his death. However, as the saying goes, “there’s nothing hidden under the face of the sun.” Eventually, it was revealed that on Saturday, February 3rd, Charles had excused himself to indulge in a smoke on the balcony, but deep within him, he harbored intentions of ending his own life.
“A trusted source disclosed that actor and film director Charles Ouda was attending a Salem Wrap-Up Party when he stepped out for a smoke on the balcony and tragically took his own life using a belt,” the source revealed.
In the wake of his passing, renowned Kenyan actors have offered their condolences to his grieving family, reflecting on the cherished moments they shared with Charles. He will forever be remembered as the vivacious TV star who captivated Kenyan audiences whenever his face graced the television screen. His unforgettable roles in “Makutano Junction” and “Better Days” will ensure his enduring place in the hearts of fans.
