According to the BBC, Pooley, whose real name was Francis Yaw Frimpong, met his tragic end following Kotoko's Ghana Premier League match against Nsoatreman FC on Sunday, February 2.
After the game, violence erupted at the Nana Koramansah II Park, and Pooley was fatally stabbed in what appears to have been a senseless act of aggression.
While the perpetrators have yet to be fully brought to justice, the Ghana Police Service has acted swiftly, making six arrests related to the incident.
Among the suspects arrested is the former Sunyani West MP, Hon. Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, who is also the owner of Nsoatreman FC.
In addition to Baffour-Awuah, Elizabeth Ntiriwaa, known as Akosua Black Chinese, is also in police custody. Eyewitnesses have pointed to her as the alleged instigator of the violence that led to Pooley’s tragic demise.
Autopsy report on Nana Pooley’s death
As investigations continue, details from the autopsy report have emerged, shared by Kumasi-based sports journalist Awal Mohammed Hudu of Kessben Media.
Hudu disclosed chilling information about the manner in which Pooley met his end.
According to the autopsy, the weapon used in the stabbing was a 7.5cm long object.
Tragically, the cut to Pooley’s heart was found to be a staggering 1.6cm deep.
The loss of blood was catastrophic, with 1.5 litres of blood clotting within his body, leading to his untimely death.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Hudu shared his thoughts on the heartbreaking autopsy report, revealing the severity of Pooley’s condition.
Expressing deep sorrow, he reflected on the medical experts' findings and bid a painful farewell to the fallen fan.
"Medical experts indicate that the normal blood flow requirement for an adult ranges between 4.5 to 5.5 litres.

With deep sorrow, he added, "Kafra me nua, damirifa due."
