The body of a dead unidentified male adult has been found in a stream that serves as a boundary between Atonsu and Asokwa in the Asokwa Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
The body was covered with debris due to a recent downpour in parts of the region.
Reports indicate the body was spotted by scrap dealers who were scavenging for scrap metals in the stream on September 27, 2022.
Both fingers were visible, with the rest of the body covered with sand and refuse in the stream.
Environmental officers from the Asokwa Municipal Assembly who were called had to use shovels to dig around the body before removing it.
The naked body lay in a supine position when the officers dug out the debris.
Residents in the area suspect that the body was carried into the stream by floodwaters.
The police, environmental officers and officials of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) deposited the body at the morgue.
