The autopsy report observed by this reporter and signed by the Chief Superintendent, Dr. O. Owusu Afriyie at the Accra Police Hospital, attributes the cause of death to "a hemorrhagic shock, an injury to chest and a close shot, "without further detail, a report the head of the family is dissatisfied.
