A Ghanaian passenger aboard a British Airways plane from the UK died a few minutes before the plane landed at the Kotoka International Airport. The 65-year old Ghanaian lawyer, Emil Yappo, resident in the UK, was pronounced dead at the aviation clinic after doctor's examination.

Some passengers aboard the plane told journalists at the Airport that the deceased’s behaviour changed about 30 minutes before the plane landed. British Airways officials contacted his wife and daughter who rushed to the clinic to identify the body. His body has since been deposited at the mortuary.
