He said some few weeks ago Burger Aloss tried taking away his own life by drinking a poisonous chemical to the surprise of the people.

Multipee noted that Burger Aloss was hospitalized for some time before he was released “and he finally succeeded ending his life with fire, this time around”.

According to him, Burger Aloss on Thursday poured petrol all over his body and lit a fire with matches, causing severe burns all over his body.

Multipee said people at the scene managed to douse the fire and rushed Burger Aloss to a hospital at Konongo for treatment.

He noted that Burger Aloss was later referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, where he gave up the ghost.
