The Kenya Wildlife Service is investigating the source of the cyanide, with preliminary tests confirming its presence and post-mortem examinations finding tomatoes in the elephants' stomachs. Local farmers in the Kimana area, bordering Amboseli, dispute claims that their produce is responsible, stating they have never encountered cyanide among regulated agricultural chemicals.
