News about the actor's demise began to surface online on April 25. The cause of his death has yet to be communicated.

Neither the renowned playwright nor social media accounts related to his company, Roverman Productions, have reacted to Kwabena Yeboah's demise.

The actor's last post on Facebook, where he normally shared snippets of his stage work, was on January 26, 2025.

On that day, he shared a photo of himself in a new hairstyle and accompanied this with the caption, 'Things we do for work and passion'.

The post suggested that Kwabena Yeboah's last-shared photo on the platform was a look for one of his upcoming stage roles.

However, Kenneth Nii Saki Sackey, of the Communications Department of Roverman Productions gave credence to the news of Yeaboah's death after he took to Facebook to share a photo of a burning candle.

An alumnus of Opoku Ware Senior High School and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, he appeared in several of Uncle Ebo's plays, including I Want To Feed You, in which he played the role of a pastor.

About a year ago, he shared the funeral poster of a woman believed to be his mother, who was buried on June 29, 2024, in Bantama.

Ebenezer Kwabena Yeboah (Roverman Productions) was listed among the late woman's children.

Already, a funeral poster of the stage actor has emerged, indicating that he was 42 years old.
