Where  upon Alfred reacted angrily by retorting that after all he was not the  only youngster or student who attended the wake and did not deserve the  reprimand. Then he walked away into his room.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, on second thoughts Alfred regretted his reaction towards his father, but failed to render an apology or discuss it.<\/p>\n<p>Instead,  on Sunday morning, February 13, Alfred informed his father that he  would be going to church, and that was the last time he was seen alive.<\/p>\n<p>On  the morning of Monday, February 14, 2011, family members checked his  room when they could not find him. His door was found locked, and when  they looked through a window, his body was seen dangling from the  ceiling. He had hanged himself using a nylon rope.<\/p>\n<p>The police have confirmed the story, producing a suicide note that Alfred allegedly left behind.<\/p>\n<p>In  the note, the young man apologised to his father for the extreme action  he was going to take, and asked his father to find a place in his heart  to forgive him.<\/p>\n<p>He further wrote that he had learnt his lesson  and that in his next life he would know how to talk properly to his  parents and the elderly.<\/p>\n<p>Residents believe the young man might  have felt so bad after his reaction towards his father due to the deep  bond of friendship that existed between them.<\/p>\n<p>The Takoradi  District Commander of the Ghana Police Service, DSP Dela Dzansi, told  The Mirror that investigations were underway, but gave no further  comments.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of filing this report, the body of Alfred  had been deposited at the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital mortuary for  autopsy.<\/p>\n<p>Source: The Mirror<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 20-year-old student was found hanging dead in his room on Valentine\u2019s Day at his father\u2019s residence at Nkroful Nkwanta, near Sekondi in the Western Region.
