A 42-year-old man has been found dead in his room, in what is believed to be a case of suicide.

The deceased, known in the Adansi Ansa community of the Ashanti Region, where he taught, as Teacher Daniel, was found hanging from the ceiling.

Accra FM’s Ogyam Boamah, who reported the incident, said Daniel had returned home on Sunday, having attended a wedding ceremony the previous day at Kwadwo Nkwanta, while his wife had travelled to her hometown to spend the Christmas holidays with her mother.

According to him, Daniel sent his eldest child on an errand, who returned to find the main door of their residence locked. After repeatedly knocking on the door without response, he peeped through the keyhole and found his father hanging in the room, forcing him to raise an alarm. Neighbours attracted by the screams forced the door open only to find the lifeless body of the teacher dangling from a sponge tied to the ceiling of the room.

Daniel’s body has been deposited at the mortuary, but there has been no explanation yet for what pushed him to take his own life.

He left behind a wife and four children.
