Afranie was killed in a motor accident while being transported to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi to continue with his recuperation.

He had suffered a mild stroke and was admitted to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra in the middle of the year.

Afranie is a former Black Stars, Black Queens, Black Starlets, Ebusua Dwarfs, New Edubiase United, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko coach.
