An autopsy has confirmed that Gifty Okyere, a 28-year-old final-year nursing student at Sunyani Nursing and Midwifery Training College, died of an acute asthma attack in her boyfriend’s room, ruling out foul play.
According to a report by kessbenonline.com, preliminary accounts indicate that Okyere began experiencing breathing difficulties while in the room of her boyfriend, Edmond Ayomah, on May 27, 2025.
Despite efforts to assist her, she lost consciousness before emergency help could arrive.
Ayomah subsequently turned himself in to the local police, cooperating fully with authorities during the investigation.
The Ghana Police Service in Jinjini confirmed that a full autopsy conducted by the regional pathologist explicitly stated that Okyere died due to an acute asthma attack, with no signs of physical trauma or poisoning.
Edmond Ayomah, who had been under investigation, remains uncharged and has reportedly returned to his family as the official investigations draw to a close.
The confirmation of a natural cause of death has alleviated concerns of foul play, though the tragedy continues to resonate with many in Jinjini and beyond.
Gifty Okyere, described as a promising young woman, is set to be laid to rest, with the community mourning the loss of a life cut short.
This case has been closely followed since initial reports emerged, with speculations indicating foul play due to the circumstances of Gifty’s death.
Earlier reports had suggested that Gifty died from complications while attempting to commit abortion in the room of her boyfriend.
