A man believed to be in his 30s has been found dead in a stagnant water at Juaboso in the Western North region.
According to reports, the man, identified only as Mawuli, left home about two days ago, and his whereabouts were unknown until the discovery.
On the afternoon of the following day, some children who had gone fishing spotted his lifeless body lying face down in a pool of stagnant water.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that the man was already dead when he was found.
Residents who knew Mawuli revealed that he had previously been involved in an accident that injured his arm and allegedly affected his mental health.
He was known in the area as a mason. But according to sources, he was a stranger in the community, and no one knows his family.
Some community members also claim the deceased is an alcoholic and suspects that could have played a role in his demise.
The body has been transported by the police to the Juaboso Government Hospital mortuary for preservation and further investigation.
