The family of the late Richlove Pokua Yeboah, who was involved in a tragic incident, has opened up about what happened to their daughter.

The 23-year-old was reported to have died a few days ago at Wiamoase in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

Speaking to a content creator on his daughter's passing, Mr Yeboah explained that the doctors told the family that when they checked her vitals after she was rushed to the hospital unconscious, they realised her blood pressure was at zero.

This implied that there was no blood flowing through her arteries at the time she was taken to the hospital.

"When we asked the doctors what the cause of death was, they told us that when they checked her BP, it was at zero. That is all the doctor told us after her uncles insisted on knowing what caused her death," he said.

"I called her to come home to eat the night before, but she told me she was with a friend and it was raining, so she would spend the night there. It was at the said friend's place where she had that problem. Because she had not eaten through the night, the previous day, I suspect it was hunger that caused it," he stated.

Mr Yeboah further suggested that Richlove's mother suffered the same fate, dying as a result of low blood in her system.

He said he was home resting when neighbours rushed to the house to inform him that his daughter had slumped and been taken to the hospital.

As a result, he also quickly rushed to the hospital to find out what had happened to her, only to be told she had passed away.

Friends of Richlove have also expressed displeasure over reports that Richlove was an addict.

One of them who spoke in an interview denied claims that the 23-year-old was abusing substances and dared anyone with proof to make it known.

Richlove was a budding content creator known for her videos where she was seen spending time with her lover and often admiring her beauty.
