I am not a medic so correct me if I am wrong but isn't most deaths ultimately result from heart attacks? Weather the person was shot or suffering from cancer.

I do not condone rioting but some authority figure should go to the people and explain to them that contrary to what the media is saying the autopsy report has not exonerated the police yet.

An autopsy report often includes the number of injuries on the body and inside the body. If the current report does not include that then the family must seek a second opinion from another pathologist.

There was a similar case in the UK some years ago. A man was pushed down by police during a demonstration and he died shortly after that. The initial autopsy gave the cause of death as heart attack. The family challenged the report and a second autopsy was carried out which concluded that even though the man was having a terminal heart condition the push by the police man aggravated his condition that caused his death.

The most interesting part of this story was that the pathologist was strike off by the BMA for unprofessional work and he can no longer practice medicine.

So this doctor must be careful what he's doing. The case has already attracted global interest and would be on his CV forever.

The simple question here is would Tawiah have died if the police did not brutalize? Is it not possible that the brutalization led to his death? Again, did the deceased sustain injuries or not? This report is technically and clandestinely designed to cover up the truth. We are not as ignorant as Dr. Sampene thinks we are. God save us.

This same taser has killed someone in the hands of the police in Canada before since it sends shock waves into your body and this can rightly cause the heart attack. The police in this case were arrested and prosecuted. Oh Mother Ghana, what a shame. How does this exonerate the policemen?

Master, you are right. Heart failure is the immediate cause of most deaths. In this case, shock could have precipitated the heart failure. This does not exonerate the police.

Jack you are such a useless person. A mere allegation without proof that the guy was beaten to death cannot be substantiated without any proof of assault or unlawful harm. Because the Police arrested him and he collapsed it means he was beaten to death by the police. You must be happy if that innocent police officers who were patrolling in the night for the sake of security were your relatives. You must also know that before the pm is performed on the body the family and the pathologist present will conduct an inspection to ascertain any marks of violence on the body including the false representation that there was was blood oozing from the nose which was found to be false.

The fact that the autopsy report did not link Tawiah's death to the brutalities of the police officers does not exonerate them of crime. They are likely not going to face first degree murder but could face other serious charges. It is reported that the autopsy was done in the presence of the victim's two uncles but of what use is soap to sheep? If the doctor points to a green spot and tells them this is called "hatak" a symptom of heart attack, how would they know? Commander One says he's forwarding the docket to the A-G for advice. Let justice prevail.

The beating by the police resulted the heart failure on the part of the decease. The family of the decease has every right to demand another autopsy from another doctor and if not satisfy, the family can proceed to court. If it was the police beating that led to the death the government will compensate the family in monetary form which president Mahama is good when it comes to payment of compensations. The family has more democratic opportunities to take the issue further until the family members are satisfied.

The beatings from the police could cause the heart failure. I don't see how the report of heart failure completely exonerates the policemen who beat the guy up unless his heart was suffering from a disease

Using that teaser repeatedly on someone can course death.so the police are at fault regardless. Cus the young man was not sick or anything. The police kill's him so they have to be deal with by the law.

What's the cause of the heart failure? Was the guy just standing n his heart suddenly failed. That doctor is on someone's pay slip. He should give us a break.

A forensic Radiographer is needed, to take x ray of the dead body (some parts) to look for evidence of broken bone (fracture) and soft tissue swollen.
This is because, even if the death is as a result of the beaten, the decease might have had an undiagnosed heart problem.

Doctor do not worry. You have given your report and if people can not take it that's not your problem. Everybody is angry and wants to take the law into their hands. What Krofuom people are doing is not different from what the police did! Why should that young man run if police is after someone else? Please the police has beaten an innocent people as claimed but why should an innocent person run away from the police! The two articles that came, one said 27 year old man was buying food with his brother. Another one I read said the person was coming from toilet. Which is which ? Please allow investigation to take place if the police was wrong or not! I blame all this on armed robbers in Ghana. May the curses of Deuteronomy 28:14-68 follow all armed robbers in Ghana, may they be cursed from them to their twenty generations. May the same curses follow all the lawyers and judges who defend those heartless animal to live in our society. Armed robbers kill, assault, rape steal and render some homes fatherless, motherless, and still the shameless lawyers defend to continue to live among us. If any idiot insult me here I have copied and pasted this article I would come back and insult back the person back. Idiots.

So the victim was just walking and all of a sudden fell and his heart stoped beating and he died?the doctor can say this to the Marin world,if you slap someone and he dies would the police charge you for murder or not?even theat can course ones his live,the level of dishonesty in this country has reach a boilling point.When chairman Adams was attack the same report talked about heart failure,so how did his heart failed because the man was driving home,so the acid bath led to the failure of his heart,may his soul rest in peace.So in anyway the police defend this matter,someone died in their hands,even when a suspect die in their custody is a problem let alone beating him to death.

In Ghana every one died of heart failure. That is general. In fact when you died your heart will stop working. The question here is that we're there bruise or signs of trauma that may have caused the death? Fake doctor.

You are just illiterate. The heart cannot stop functioning because of mere beatings. The beatings must result into injury of an organ of the body that can make the orgsn or yhe brain to cease functioning. If the heart stops on its own it is not a result of any brutality. In this case it is sure the heart is diseased and there is a proof

I employ the families to sue the Ghana police for illegal action attack on their son causing his untimely dead.
They should have listen to the plea from the guy and even from the community when they were telling those offices to stop beating him because the guy was innocent and not criminal but they ignored them and carried on with their oewful torture
till he drop dead so the law must take it cause. The families voice must be head through out the country Ghana and the world till justice is served, to serve as example and warning to the entire Ghana POLICE FORCE. NOW let me ask that STUPID MAN CALLED HIMSELF.... KOFI BOAKYE and his BOYS.... THIS QUESTION....DO THEY KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY, THE FAMILY HAVE INVESTED IN HIS UP BRINGING RIGHT FROM THE MOTHERS WOMB TILL BIRTH AND GROWING UP TO THE AGE 22YRS FOR JUST ONE DAY FOR THEM TO WAKE UP TO HEAR HE HAS BEEN BEATEN,TORTURED AND KILLED BY SOME STUPID POLICE OFFICERS WHO DIDN'T KNOW THEIR CODE OF CONDUCT AS TO HOW TO FOLLOW SIMPLE PROCEDURE TO ARREST HUMAN BEING BUT RATHER BEHAVED LIKE MONSTERS TO KILL THIS INNOCENT GENTLEMAN. HE COULD HAVE BEEN THE WORLD GREATEST PERSONALITY EVEN A FUTURE PRESIDENT OF GHANA BUT YET HIS PLEA WAS NOT LISTEN BY THESE IDIOTIC OFFICERS LEADING TO HIS COLD DEATH.AND YOU OPEN THAT YR STINKY MOUTH TO COVER UP FOR THE POLICE...
MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PIECE.NOW IS TIME FOR JUSTICE ,....AND IF JUSTICE IS NOT DONE THEN IT MEANS YOU PRESIDENT MAHAMAH YOU SUPPORT THE ACTIONS OF THE POLICE FORCE, SO YOU MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CASE THAT IS WHY WE SWORN IN TO PROTECTS THE CITIZENS.BE A SOLDIER, BE A MAN FOR ONCE IN YR LIFE TIME TO TAKE DRASTIC DECISION ON THIS CASE...SO GHANAIANS WILL INDEED KNOW THEY HAVE A LEADER...JUSTICE..JUSTICE...JUSTICE.THAT IS...WHAT WE WANT....
