Police were called to the scene and broke in where they established Njoroge had died several hours earlier.
He died by suicide on Wednesday morning.
The motive of the incident was not immediately known and the body was moved to the mortuary pending autopsy.
And a 36-year-old man died by suicide after he swallowed poison in Dagoretti’s Kiuru area.
