A man, believed to be in his 40s, has allegedly committed suicide, at Awudome Cemetery, in Accra.<\/p>\n
The deceased, who had a well-shaved hair and beard, dressed in a pair of black trousers with a grey pullover and wearing a pair of black slippers, was found hanging from a tree at the cemetery.<\/p>\n
He wore what appeared to be a wedding ring, while a dagger\u2019s cover hung out of his back pocket and had his tongue protruding out of his mouth.<\/p>\n
A few residents of Awudome Estate, in Accra, and passers-by, rushed to the scene in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the body at about 6:40am.<\/p>\n
While some of the onlookers suspected foul play, others opined that he might have ended it all \u201cto run away from the pressures of life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some motorists, who operate around the vicinity, said the deceased was not familiar to them.<\/p>\n
The Kaneshie Divisional Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Edward Faakye Kumi, confirmed the incident to the media yesterday.<\/p>\n
He said the police at about 7:00am received information about the suicide, and a team of experts from the Criminal Investigation Department at the police headquarters was deplored to the scene.<\/p>\n
ACP Kumi said the team found the deceased hanging from a tree at the cemetery and conveyed it to the Police Hospital mortuary for investigations.<\/p>\n
He said no identity card, mobile phone, or suicide note were found on the deceased, and gave the assurance that efforts were underway to trace the relatives of the deceased.<\/p>\n
ACP Kumi appealed to the public to provide reliable information on the deceased to the police.<\/p>\n
