Man found hanging from a tree in suspected act of suicide

A grim discovery shocked the neighborhood near the Volta Lake in Kpong, Eastern Region, Ghana, as a man was found hanging from a tree. This disturbing incident unfolded on a Saturday when local residents stumbled upon the man’s lifeless form.

The identity of the deceased remains a mystery, as he was a stranger and traveler in the community, with no one able to recognize him. Furthermore, he was not known in the immediate vicinity where he tragically chose to end his life.

The investigation found a few items near the lifeless man, which included a mobile phone and a brown envelope containing a white envelope marked with the eerie number 666. Inside this enigmatic envelope was a small red purse that held a ring.

Despite the presence of cuts and bruises on the deceased’s forehead, the authorities have not yet jumped to conclusions of foul play, as they believe it is too early to rule out the possibility of suicide.

This unsettling incident has left the community in shock and disbelief as they grapple with the sudden and tragic loss of a life.

While the circumstances surrounding this man’s demise are unclear, it serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of addressing mental health issues and providing support to individuals in need.
