A man believed to be around 30 years old, identified as Yaw Christopher, also known as Chris, was discovered dead by suspected suicide in his apartment in Dabiasem, a suburb of the New Juaben North municipality in the Eastern region.

His lifeless body was discovered hanging in his room at approximately 10 a.m. on November 8, 2023.

It is reported that Yaw Christopher had been present in his room throughout the previous afternoon, displaying no visible signs of depression, which made the discovery even more shocking for those who knew him.

Following the discovery, body of the deceased was transported to St. Joseph’s Mortuary in Effiduase for subsequent examination and post-mortem procedures.

The Effiduase District Police Command has initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death.
