A Ghanaian man identified as Mr. Andrews, who is reported to have recently returned from Switzerland, has been discovered hanging dead in a rented room in Two Streams, a suburb of Koforidua, the Eastern Regional capital.
Andrews believed to be in his late sixties was found neatly dressed in a suit and shoes, with glasses adorning his face, hanging from a rope tied to the door frame.
Strangely, his legs were touching the ground.
Residents recount that Mr. Andrews, who claimed Swiss residency but hailed from Ghana, had only been living in the area for about six months but known for drinking and having fun with some of the youth in the community.
He mentioned having a family in Switzerland, while stating that his extended relatives resided in the Central region, and has built a house in Accra.
Just days before his demise, Mr. Andrews had told some residents he will travell back to Switzerland during the weekend.
He is alleged to have arranged for his belongings to be transported to his family home in the Central region by a relative few days back.
The sudden and unexpected nature of his death has left the community reeling with shock and speculation.
The Police have taken the deceased’s body to the morgue for further examination pending an autopsy.
