You have got to admit that it is quite sad when you hear about Veteran Ghanaian actors who either end up broke or very ill and in some cases both.
Actor Mac Jordan Amartey seems to have unfortunately fallen into a similar predicament when his right leg was amputated four years ago due to diabetes in 2012.
Sadly for Ghanaians, Mr Amartey who is noted for the use of’ ‘big’ English words in his movies is dead.
He passed on at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital yesterday afternoon. Narrating what took the life of the veteran actor, his son said; “The other surviving leg had complications and needed to correct with surgery to open the blood vessels in the surviving leg.”
“The procedure was successful but lead to stroke and he didn’t fully recover leading to his death. He was 82.”
He left on this earth 5 strong boys. The news was confirmed by his eldest son Dr Amartey, his third son.
We extend our condolence to the family. R.I.P Jordan.
