UK nursing student in Ghana dies

A 19-year-old UK national, Millie Ann Gentry, died while volunteering at a hospital in Ghana in March 2023.

Gentry, a student nurse, died after going for a midnight swim in the sea, according to recent reports.

The nursing student reportedly hit her head in the water and drowned.

Gentry had spent about two weeks in Ghana at the time she died. She was staying at a beach resort in Busua, in the Western Region.

According to an inquest, she and a friend decided to go for a swim at around 12.30 am. Gentry’s friend said strong waves pulled in when they were swimming.

Her friend was rescued, but Gentry was found dead after about four hours of searching.

After a post-mortem, it was found that Miss Gentry had drowned and had a head injury inflicted on her while in the sea.

A coroner concluded that Gentry died as a result of misadventure after she and her friends were 'overwhelmed' unexpectedly while swimming at sea.

Seven School Children drown on Denu River

YEN.com.gh reported that the bodies of some seven school children were retrieved from the Densu River after a boat carrying an unknown number of children to cross the river capsized.

The McCarthy South electoral area assemblyman, Clement Agyi, said children were returning home from school when the disaster struck Faana in the Weija Gbawe municipality in Accra.

Eyewitnesses believe the spillage of the Weija Dam intensified the river currents and caused the wooden boat carrying the kids to capsize.
