Just like Ebony, Bonchaka, born Terrence Nii Okang Mensah Adjetey, had burst on the music scene as young artiste and taken it by storm as he was the most sought after artiste at the time of his death.
Bonchaka died in an accident in the early hours of October 30, 2003 aged 21. His car hit a tree on the Madina-Legon road. He was returning from a musical concert he headlined at the University of Ghana campus.
Though he was only active in the music industry for just about two years, he made a lot of waves with his 'old school' dressing and 'poulele' dance.

She was featuring in almost every major movie in Ghana at the time and at just 23, her best was yet to come.
But she lost her life under tragic circumstances on the La-Teshie Nungua road. It is not really known her destination but reports at the time suggested she was on a 'chilling spree' with her 'boyfriend'.

The fact that Ebony, Terry, and, Suzzy dying very young, 21, 23 and 20 respectively, through road accidents is obvious.
It is also obvious that they died at the height of their careers
However, while the above similarities about the deaths of the three are very clear to note, there is one common thing about them that you likely did not know.

All of the tragic deaths happened on a Thursday.
Left wondering what is it about these 'Thursday tragedies', YEN.com.gh did some checks and realised that 'Yawoada', the Akan name for Thursday, is a contraction of 'Yaw (pain)' and '3da (day)'. So if one wants to do a literal translation, it would be 'Pain day' or 'Day of pain'.
Though this is is not to discount the fact that bad roads and reckless driving may have played their parts in causing these accidents, it is quite weird to realise that all of these tragic deaths happened on Thursdays, though years and locations part.
