A physically challenged man believed to be in his 50s was found dead Friday morning at the Korlebu traffic light opposite the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra.
The deceased whose relatives could not be traced immediately by city authorities, was suspected to be a beggar. Beggars at the intersection, however, denied knowing him.
The police said they suspected no foul play in the immediate but are investigating his death.
An eye witness reckoned seeing the deceased sitting at the location with his clutches by him at about 4pm the previous day.
The lifeless body was found wrapped in a Ghana flag and the clutches placed on the body.
Environmental health officers from the Ablekuma South sub-metro of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, led by the District Environmental Officer, Mr George Lawson fumigated the location and conveyed the body to the morgue.
In an interview Mr Lawson said he received information that a lifeless body was lying around the traffic light.
He however led the team to the scene to asses the situation and subsequently reported it to the Korlebu Police Station where Detective Chief Inspector Vandyke accompanied the environmental health officers to remove the body to the morgue.
