Ronnie's death not due to unavailability of oxygen -Korle Bu clarifies

The Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has denied reports that member of music duo Buk Bak, Ronnie Coaches died as a result of oxygen shortage at the hospital.

The hospital also says it is untrue that Ronnie was on admission at the National Cardiothoracic Centre of the Hospital.

A statement signed by the Public Relations Officer of the Hospital, Mustapha Salifu, said the late Coaches was brought to the Hospital on November 19, 2013 and passed away on Thursday, November 21, 2013.

The statement said at the time of his death, Ronnie was on oxygen and the hospital’s new oxygen plan was running at full capacity.

“It is therefore not true that he died due to oxygen shortage in the hospital,” the statement said.

The Hospital authorities have, however, failed to disclose which unit the late Ronnie Coaches was admitted.
