Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi has urged local fans to respect the autopsy report on deceased Kwame Kyei Andoh since the young referee ââ¬Ëwould have died anywayââ¬â¢.
Autopsy reports conducted at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital revealed he died of natural causes.
But that has been rejected by the late Andohââ¬â¢s family who claim it is flawed.
But Ghana FA chief Kwesi Nyantakyi has called for calm and respect for the final autopsy report saying he ââ¬Ëwould have died anywayââ¬â¢ even if he was not subjected to the beatings.
ââ¬ÅI am not a doctor. When doctors speak, you just have to respect what they say,â⬠Nyantakyi told Power FM
ââ¬ÅMy understanding is that his death is not related to the assault. He would have died anyway. If even there was no assault.
ââ¬ÅThat was why the doctor said he died of natural causes. Itââ¬â¢s unfortunate he died at such a young age. Itââ¬â¢ very unfortunate.
ââ¬ÅI wish he would have lived younger to be of more service to Ghana football, his family and society.
ââ¬ÅBut I think whatever the post-mortem is, we still condemn any form of violence meted out to any match official anywhere and the post-mortem report will not change what steps the FA has taken already in order to stem the tide of violence in our League.ââ¬
The 21-year-old died few days after he was severely assaulted by irate fans during a third-tier League match two weeks ago.
The Ghana FA will pay for the funeral expenses of the late promising assistant referee.
