Suspected scrap dealer found dead at Danyame

A suspected scrap dealer believed to be in his early 30s has died at Danyame near Unity Oil fuel station around a roundabout on Monday morning around 6:30.

The deceased was spotted sitting in front of a shop trimming his fingernails with his teeth and was later seen struggling on the floor until he was noticed dead by some security officers in the area.

A check on his polythene bag revealed some medicines leading residents to suspect that he was sick before dying in the area.

Residents fear they may contract a communicable disease if the body is left to decompose there.
