According to multiple reports online, the family had completed all funeral preparations, including cooking arrangements, and payments for undertakers, sound systems, canopies, mattresses, accommodation, and other logistics ahead of the burial. 40-year-old Antwi passed away in September 2025, and his remains were deposited at the Assin Brofoyedru Mortuary for preservation. However, when relatives arrived at the facility to retrieve the body for the final funeral rites scheduled for Saturday, January 17, 2026, mortuary attendants were unable to locate his remains. The development disrupted the entire funeral programme, despite the arrival of mourners from various parts of the country. Reports indicate that Antwi’s body was mistakenly swapped with that of a 75-year-old man and was buried by another family about three months ago.
