The medical condition behind Pooley's death revealed

The shocking demise of Nana Pooley has left many devastated, with heartbreaking details surfacing from the autopsy report.

As reported by YEN.com.gh, his death was attributed to cardiac tamponade—a critical condition that impairs the heart’s ability to function properly.

This life-threatening complication restricts blood circulation, depriving vital organs of oxygen, and if left untreated, can result in fatal cardiac arrest.
