The victim, whose identity is yet to be known, is said to be among irate youth who allegedly invaded the Tafo Government Hospital near Kumasi yesterday because of the death of a man believed to be in his mid-30s, Kofi Opoku.

Five persons have been arrested while the body of the deceased, Kofi Opoku, has been deposited at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital mortuary pending an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
