    This story sounds too fishy. How can a grown woman face be inside a boiling oil without an attempt to free herself?

    Unless this woman purposely submerged her face in the oil in order to kill herself, this sound like foul play to me.

    Looking at the picture of the incident in the Daily Guide, the woman definitely had an epileptic fit, fell on the fire/pot cooking oil and died as there was no one there to rescue her. It's a very sad accident and may her sou ...

    That can be the obvious scientific explanation. No need to speculate otherwise. Epileptic fits don't come announced.

    That's where the history of epilepsy adds some credibility to the story.

    "..epileptic patient.." They become helpless in such instances.

  • BLHC@BRONX 11 years ago

    THAT MUST BE A VERY BIG POT. HOW CAN IT BE? HMMMMM!

  • Teacher 11 years ago

    The story appears to be one of heart attack or stroke. These are silent killers. The conditions may be there and the sufferer may not be aware, especially since people here do not do medical check ups. Homocide? Possible but ...

    May her soul RIP. I believe she may have suffered a heart attack. Sadly, most of us don't check our BP and cholesterol levels frequently and indulge in eating loadsa fatty foods minus any physical exercise. This sadly, should ...

    Somebody might have done this horrible act. How big was the pan and the volume of oil in it? Secondly, a 34year old African woman cannot let go so easily like that. Furthermore, we know, from the story here that she wasn't s ...

    IN GHANA NOBODY DIES OF NATURAL CAUSES . ITS ALWAYS SOMEBODIES FAULT

  • Yaw Adu-Asare 11 years ago

    Akosua Safoa is not meant to be a kenkey seller in Accra. That job is reserved for Ga women.

    Akosua should have been selling fufu and aponkye soup.
