Three men have died trying to retrieve a mobile phone from a pit latrine in the Kenyan town of Mombasa.

University student Dora Mwabela dropped the phone into the latrine while she was answering a call of nature, the Daily Nation newspaper reports.

She offered a reward of 1,000 shillings ($13) for anyone who could recover the phone, worth 6,000 shillings.

Most Kenyans survive on less than $1 a day.

"The fumes inside must be extremely poisonous considering the short time it was taking to disable the retrievers," he said.

The cell phone was not found.
