A Form Three student of Islamic Senior High School in Kumasi, identified as Abass, has died after falling from the top floor of the school’s administration block on Tuesday, 18 November 2025.

The body of the deceased has since been buried in accordance with Islamic tradition.

Sources within the school suggest that Abass had been struggling with suicidal thoughts for some time, although the administration was unaware of any such intentions.

Abass, a Business student and acting Boys’ Prefect, reportedly fell during school hours, drawing the attention of students and staff who rushed to the scene.

He was immediately transported to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Family members, including his mother and uncle, as well as some students, disclosed that Abass had previously made remarks about harming himself, but these were dismissed as jokes and not taken seriously.
