A man believed to be in his forties has been found dead in a bush at Asante Akyem Mamponteng in the Ashanti region.

The body of the man who went missing for weeks was found lying at the entrance of the farm he went to tap palm wine in.

Family members told Adom News that he was just recovering from sickness when he went missing.

According to Nana Kotoka, one of the family members, Francis was admitted to the Juaso Government Hospital but later he ran away.

He said the man left home to his farm and for several weeks, he never returned before they found his body on his farm.

Police in Asante Akyem Ofoase have since buried the body with investigations underway.
