A 40-year-old man has lost his life whilst trying to retrieve an undisclosed amount of money from an abandoned well, which was filled with water.<\/p>\n

Samuel Owusu, who is said to be a teacher, reportedly drowned immediately he risked his life and entered the deep well on Friday, March 22, 2024, around 2pm.<\/p>\n

According to a police statement, sighted by the\u00a0DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>, the money belonged to Owusu\u2019s neighbour and it accidentally fell into the well that fateful day.<\/p>\n

Owusu, who perhaps was trying to be a Good Samaritan, decided to help by retrieving the money from the well and drowned in the process.<\/p>\n

The heartbreaking incident happened at Adugyama, a farming community in the Ashanti Region, and sparked melancholic scenes in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 22\/03\/2024, at 1400hrs, deceased Samuel Owusu, aged 40, a teacher and a resident of Adugyama entered an abandoned well in the neighbourhood to retrieve his neighbor\u2019s cash and could not return.<\/p>\n

\u201cA team of fire personnel from Tepa came and removed the deceased from the abandoned well,\u201d a police statement disclosed, adding that the case was being probed.<\/p>\n

The deceased, the report further disclosed, was quickly rushed to Mankranso Government Hospital, where he was declared dead by medical personnel on duty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe body has since been deposited at Plus Lab Mortuary at Mankranso for preservation and autopsy,\u201d the police report concluded.<\/p>\n
