Assembly member for the area where Anthony lived, Joana Barton Oduro, told reporters that the late US citizen's landlord was among the people who broke into Anthony's room and found him dead.

"We quickly called the police and deposited his body at the Takoradi Government Hospital. We are supposed to bury the body looking at its decomposing nature but we have still not identified his relatives and so we have pleaded with the hospital to help us keep the body for some time whilst we keep searching for his family members,” Oduro disclosed.

The assembly member said Anthony Wolfgang Hammond was a recluse.

"He has also not been seen with a friend or relative in the house he rented three years ago," she disclosed.

The assembly member said the deceased name and image were found on his passport.
