Police have launched an investigation into the death of a 38-year-old teacher, Emmanuel Kofi Quainoo, who was found dead in his room at Assin Fosu under circumstances suspected to be suicide.
Mr Quainoo, a teacher at Faith Academy Basic School in Assin Dompim, was discovered unresponsive in his residence after returning home from work. According to sources at the school, the deceased had been absent from duty for some time and only resumed teaching on March 2. He reportedly left the campus around 12 noon after the second break, informing colleagues that he was heading home to seek medical attention.
Tragically, it was at his residence that the incident occurred. Preliminary information suggests that Mr Quainoo allegedly used a skipping rope tied to a crossbar to take his own life.
In a heartbreaking turn of events, his two daughters—aged eight and seven—are said to have raised the alarm after returning home from school and discovering their father unresponsive.
The case has been formally reported to the police, and investigators have since visited the scene. The body of the deceased has been conveyed to a local mortuary for preservation as inquiries continue.
Authorities have appealed to the public, particularly individuals experiencing emotional or psychological distress, to seek counselling and support rather than resort to self-harm.
