The ‘Bantama Kofi Boakye’ hitmaker was restless with very high body temperature and an unusual blood pressure 150/120, the doctor said.
Since he had difficulty breathing, he was put on oxygen and given some injection but he died at 3 am on Sunday.
His body has been transported to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital for storage and autopsy the doctor said.
Below are some reactions to the news of Kofi B’s death.
Very sad to hear of the passing of one of the most talented musicians I managed from day one. Kofi B was an exceptionally talented musician and it was a delight spending time with him in the studio with Ofori Amponsah at the turn of the last millennium. Sleep well B! pic.twitter.com/WtQf2jPV6y
