The incident reportedly occurred in Asafo, Kumasi. According to sources, the passengers on board the vehicle, commonly known as a "trotro," believed the young man was simply taking a nap as he lay his head on the seat. It was only upon arrival that his fellow travellers realised something was amiss, leading to the heartbreaking discovery that he had passed away.
