Police in Kenya are being vague about the death of a New Zealander in Kenya.
Trent Keegan, an accomplished freelance photographer in his early 30s, lived in Ireland for several years before travelling to Africa.
A statement from Nairobi police says Keegan's body was found in a drainage ditch near a main highway that runs through the Kenyan capital. Police say a document found on the body indicates the dead man was Trent Keegan. The body had head injuries.
Irish Independent reporter Jason O'Brien says some reports claim he was found on Tuesday and others say as early as Sunday.
He says Kenyan police have been very reticent to give out information, because they wrongly stated he was an Irish national when they first found him.
O'Brien says Keegan was a freelancer who had won several awards.
He says the photographer was quite well known amongst his colleagues, because he was over six foot tall so he stood out in a media scrum.
O'Brien says people remember him as someone who knew what he wanted, and wasn't shy about going to get it.
Police are expecting post-mortem results in the next couple of days. The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs is investigating.
