Richard Mensah, 19 years of age reportedly died at Apremdo in the Western Region. He died on Wednesday, September 16 after writing the Monday and Tuesday papers.
According to his grandmother, who was speaking in an interview on the Omanbapa morning show on Connect FM with Nhyiraba Paa Kwesi Simpson, he started complaining of a headache last Saturday and was taken to the hospital for treatment.
