Reports suggest that shortly after he left campus, he fell ill and was rushed to a health facility for medical attention and was diagnosed with severe malaria, but reportedly died.
A netizen on X who shared an update on the story wrote, “A final-year student of Koforidua Senior High Technical School (KSTS), Apassa Isaac, has died after reportedly leaving the school campus without permission during the ongoing WASSCE.
Reports from school sources indicate that Isaac wrote his English Language paper before allegedly leaving campus without authorisation and going into town.
He is said to have fallen ill shortly after and was taken to a health facility for treatment. Medical personnel reportedly diagnosed him with severe malaria, but he later died despite efforts to save his life.
School sources also say Isaac had a long record of disciplinary issues, including repeated cases of leaving campus without permission. He was previously described as a student with persistent attendance and behaviour challenges.
According to the sources, the school’s Disciplinary Committee had on several occasions invited his parents for discussions over his conduct, but they allegedly did not attend the meetings.
It is also reported that he initially missed the WASSCE registration deadline due to absenteeism, and was later registered after penalties were paid.
His parents are said to have since arrived to take custody of his body for burial arrangements”.
The news comes at a time when Innocentia Avinu, a 20-year-old student of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), who had been reported missing, has been found dead on a beach.
Reports suggest the level 200 UCC student was last seen on June 11, 2026, at the Ayensu Plaza Hostel on the UCC campus when she informed friends that she was leaving campus to meet an acquaintance outside the university community.
According to the information gathered, her family launched a search and appealed to the public for assistance; however, her dead body was discovered on June 12, 2026, at Hatchland Beach Resort, near the University of Cape Coast.
Eric-Sylvera Kwadzogah Avorgbedor, a cousin of the deceased, has since confirmed her death in an interview, revealing that the cause of death remains unknown.
“The cause of death is unknown for now. I think there is going to be an autopsy on Monday, so until then, we do not actually know what caused her death. Her body was found at Hatchland Beach,” he said.
Authorities have not yet disclosed full details of the condition of the body. Police say they are treating the case as a serious incident and have begun efforts to establish what led to her death.
