Police in the Ashanti Region have launched investigations into a case involving a student believed to have committed suicide at Adoato.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The deceased, a 25-year-old student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) was found dead on Wednesday morning by his mother.<\/p>\n

He had gone home because of the strike by the University Teachers Association of Ghana.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The police have since conveyed the body to the mortuary.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An uncle of the deceased, Kofi Abrefa Busia had spoken to him the night before he was found dead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOn Tuesday evening we spoke, and we all went to sleep. On Wednesday morning, when the mother was going to work, she realised his door was locked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cA carpenter was later called to help open the door, and we realised that he had died by suicide,\u201d his uncle said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, authorities of KNUST say they are unable to confirm the status of the deceased as a student, as they are verifying from their data.<\/p>\n

The school says once it is established that he was a student of the school, a delegation would be sent to commiserate with the bereaved family.<\/p>\n\n
