Waakye reportedly died between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm Tuesday afternoon after being rushed to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra the previous night.

This was after he was reportedly turned away by the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge Hospital) due to lack of beds in the two major health facilities in the capital.

Actress Grace Omabo aka Maame Dokonu revealed in an interview that “at the 37 Military Hospital, they also had no hospital beds so he was attended to on a stretcher. Before they got back with equipment to attend to him, he gave up the ghost“.
