Ronnie Coaches’ parents fight over his corpse
Parents of deceased hip-life artiste, Ronnie
Coaches are reported to have clashed over the
mortal remains of the late Buk Bak group
member.
Ronnie, 36, died on November 21, 2013 at the
Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital after suffering a
heart attack.
The body of the musician, also known in real life
as Ronnie Nii Quarshikumah Quainoo, is
expected to be laid to rest on Saturday, February
1, 2014 but from indications, all is not going
well.
According to eyewitnesses, there was some
confusion at the Bubuashie residences of
Ronnie's mother, Lilly, and father, Decarlo
Coaches Quainoo Friday, as soon as the body of
the late musician was conveyed from Korle-Bu
Teaching Hospital morgue.
The source said, as soon as the body arrived in
the vicinity where his parents live – their houses
are separated by a street – both of them insisted
the remains be brought to their homes.
Reports say after several minutes of a near
tussle between the two factions as to who has
the right to the body, an unnamed relative
managed to move the body to safety.
It still unclear the whereabouts of the remains
of the musician.
The family is expected to hold a Wake-keeping at
the National Theatre on Friday, January 31 and
the body is expected to be at the venue to be
laid in state.
The remains of the late musician will be interred
at the Osu Cemetery on February 1, to be
followed by a memorial service at the Success
Chapel, Bubuashie in Accra on Sunday, February
2.
