Female undertaker found dead in ‘boyfriend’s’ room in Sekondi-Takoradi

According to a report shared by Crime Check TV in an Official Facebook Post on 9 November 2026, a 33-year-old female undertaker identified as Maame Ekua, also known as Elizabeth Sackey, has been found dead in her boyfriend’s room at Essikadu in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis of the Western Region.

The tragic incident has left family members and residents shocked, particularly given the circumstances surrounding her final days. The deceased, who was reportedly a single mother of three, had informed her mother that she would be travelling to Obuasi for work-related duties involving the preparation of a deceased person’s body.

According to the account provided by her mother, Madam Ekua Tawiah Badu, her daughter informed her on Wednesday, 4 November 2026, about plans to travel over the weekend. The following day, Thursday, 5 November, she left home, leading her family to believe she was heading to Obuasi as indicated.

However, events took a tragic turn on Saturday, 7 November, when her mother reportedly received a phone call informing her of an emergency involving her daughter at Essikadu Hospital.

Alarmed by the news, Madam Badu reportedly rushed to the hospital in search of her daughter. Upon arrival, she was unable to locate her and was subsequently directed to a house in Essikadu. It was there that she was allegedly informed that her daughter had been discovered dead inside a room.

The circumstances surrounding the death remain unclear, and investigators are expected to determine exactly what transpired before the deceased was found.

According to the report, the deceased’s boyfriend was not present when the incident occurred. However, he has reportedly been taken into police custody as investigations continue into the matter.

The development has generated widespread discussion on social media, with many expressing sadness over the death of a young mother of three. Others have called for a thorough and impartial investigation to establish the facts surrounding the incident and ensure that justice is served.

The case has also reignited conversations about personal relationships, family communication, and safety. While some social media users questioned why the deceased may not have disclosed her actual destination to family members, many others stressed that the primary focus should remain on uncovering the circumstances that led to her death.

Residents of Essikadu and surrounding communities are expected to follow the case closely as police continue their investigations. Authorities have yet to publicly disclose the cause of death, and many key questions remain unanswered.

For the family of Maame Ekua, the incident represents a devastating loss. Beyond the immediate grief, her death leaves behind three children whose lives have now been permanently affected by the tragedy.

As investigations proceed, many Ghanaians are hoping for clarity regarding what happened in the room where she was found and whether any criminal wrongdoing was involved.
