Police in the Ashanti Region have opened investigations into the unexplained death of a 20-year-old Senegalese goalkeeper, identified as Cheith Toure.

According to police findings, Issah had earlier taken Toure to the Manhyia Government Hospital on October 16, 2025, in a critical condition. He allegedly told hospital staff that the young footballer had suffered multiple abdominal injuries in a road accident.
