A video seen by TUKO.co.ke shows the man, a tenant of the 52-storey building, climbing onto a window where he sat for several minutes, likely trying to avoid suffocation from the heavy smoke.

The fire continued to rage as thick black smoke rapidly filled the man's apartment and reached him at the window.

The man eventually clung to a maintenance cable hanging from the roof of the high-rise building, hoping to descend safely.

The man appeared to be making a successful descent as he carefully scaled the rope, but he reportedly lost his balance and fell to his death.

A large crowd gathered at the base of the high-rise building was heard screaming, likely in shock after witnessing the man's fall.
