Man drowns in Birim River

Akyem Oda, Feb. 20, GNA – When Samuel Frimpong, 20, decided to travel from Akyem Oda to Akyem Adjobue in the Birim North District on Wednesday February 14 to celebrate the Valentine day little did he foresee that he was going to die.

A few hours after arriving at Akyem Adjobue, Frempong was rescued from the Birim River unconscious and taken to the Akyem Oda Government Hospital.

Dr Yaw Okyere, the Akyem Oda District Director of Health Services, told the GNA that Frempong who smelt of alcohol, died 15 minutes on admission.

He attributed the cause of death to excessive intake of water through drowning.

The deceased had since been buried.
