It is unclear what might have triggered the suicide but some students close to her say that she failed one of her courses and was scolded by her parents.

She left a note behind which read ‘am sorry to disappoint you mummy and daddy for not being the girl you want me to be’.

Her family has been informed about the incident.

Her body has since been deposited at KNUST hospital in Kumasi.
