The mother of 15-year-old Felix Asiamah, one of the four Kumasi Academy students who mysteriously died, is threatening to sue the school if she is not informed about the cause of the death of her son.

Madam Afia Serwah, alleged that her son was left to die by the school authorities before being taken to the hospital.

She further accused the school authority of attempting to cover up the cause of the death of her son.

According to the late Agric student’s mother, her son complained to the school authorities that he was sick in the morning and he was given medication. However, she said, he was not attended to till his demise.

She told Accra FM's Elisha Adarkwah that she will sue the school if she is not told the health condition that resulted in the death of her ward.

“I want to know the particular disease that killed my son else even if I have to take the matter to court I will do that,” she stated.

She alleged that some students and teachers in the school practice occultism, and, therefore suggested it as the cause of the student deaths.

Furthermore, she also alleged that one of the teachers in the school told her about the occultism practice in the school.

She, therefore, called on the president to intervene by sacking those students and teachers from the school who are involved in spiritualism.

Meanwhile, the aunt of the late Carlos Ofori, another 15-year old form one Business Student who died of the disease, was of the view that the autopsy report given to her does not correspond to what the health minister made known as the cause of Carlos' death.
