Residents of Gaglokope, a suburb of Denu in the Ketu South Municipality, have been left in shock following the tragic suicide of a young unemployed father of one.
The deceased, believed to have been struggling with financial difficulties, was found dead in his home, sparking concerns about the growing impact of economic hardship on mental health.
According to neighbors, the man identified as Fabrice Woesah, had been battling severe distress due to his inability to secure a stable job and provide for his child.
Some close friends revealed that he had expressed frustration over his worsening financial situation in recent weeks.
“He often spoke about his struggles, but we never thought it would come to this,” a neighbor lamented.
Local authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death while urging community members to prioritize mental health awareness.
The tragic incident has also reignited discussions on unemployment and the need for more social support systems for struggling families in the region.
As Denu mourns the loss, residents are calling on government agencies and organizations to provide job opportunities and counseling services to curb similar incidents in the future.
Mental health advocates stress that financial hardship should not drive anyone to such a tragic decision.
