Ghana is mourning the death of Sulemana Abdul Samed, widely regarded as the country’s tallest man, who died on Monday at the age of 33 after battling complications linked to Marfan syndrome.
Samed, popularly known as Awuche, passed away at the Tamale Teaching Hospital in northern Ghana, where he had been receiving treatment for infected sores on his legs. He was admitted to the facility after the wounds worsened despite ongoing medical care.
According to a family member, Sulemana Abdul Kudus, the 33-year-old had shown signs of recovery before his condition suddenly deteriorated.
