A year later, another bronze medal was his at the [[1993 World Championships in Athletics|World Championships]] in [[Stuttgart]].

He died suddenly of an unspecified illness at age 37 in his home in [[Eldoret]], his home Kerotet Village near Ziwa.

Two of his brothers were also Olympic athletes: [[Simon Kitur]] and [[David Kitur]].
