The officers conducted a search into the tick forest and found the deceased. He was reported to have hanged himself on a tree with a copper wiring cable in the bush.

The Police, upon the tip-off, rushed to the scene, and the body was then moved to the Abura Dunkwa Hospital morgue for autopsy and preservation.

Quansah disclosed that the boss of the deceased was demanding for the missing money or he would get him arrested hence, suggested his death might be out of frustration.
