Kwabena Owusu, the <\/strong>late driver<\/strong><\/p>\n

A KUMASI-based taxi driver has allegedly committed suicide at North Suntreso in Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n

Kwabena Owusu, 43, the deceased, was said to have been seen by his wife hanging in the bathroom on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Vida Pokuaa, the wife, saw her husband hanging on a tight sponge, tied to the ceiling.<\/p>\n

The woman became alarmed and rushed to the bathroom to rescue her husband.<\/p>\n

The deceased was too heavy for her, so she screamed for help and people rushed to the scene to assist in releasing the body.<\/p>\n

But it was too late as Owusu had already given up the ghost. His body has since been deposited in the morgue.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Vida Pokuaa said her husband did not show any sign of being troubled before he died.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some of the people in the area speculated that Owusu was cash-strapped lately after losing his job.<\/p>\n

They therefore suspected that Owusu, who is a father of five children, may have ended his life because of hardship.<\/p>\n
