Deceased being conveyed to the morgue
A 40-year-old trader has been found dead in her room at Tanoso in the Kwadaso Municipality of the Ashanti Region, with preliminary information suggesting that she may have died about four days before her body was discovered.
The deceased, identified only as Anita, was discovered on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, after co-tenants reportedly detected a foul stench emanating from her room.
The incident has triggered fear and panic among residents, who are calling on the police to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.
The Assembly Member for the area, Aaron Nandie, who confirmed the incident in an interview with the Daily Guide, said he was informed about the situation upon arriving at the scene.
According to him, he gathered that the deceased had reportedly gone to sleep on Sunday and had not been seen again until her body was discovered.
“I was informed about the situation upon reaching the scene. I learned that the deceased went to sleep on Sunday and was not seen again,” he said.
Mr. Nandie disclosed that the police and environmental health officers from the Kwadaso Municipal Assembly were invited to the scene following the discovery.
The body was subsequently conveyed to the morgue.
The circumstances surrounding the woman’s death remain unclear, with further investigations expected to establish what led to the incident.
