A Level 400 student of the University of Ghana (UG) is reported dead after he drowned in the school\u2019s swimming pool on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old final year student, who has been identified as Dennis Akoto is said to have gone to the poolside for a Saturday afternoon relaxation when the incident happened.<\/p>\n

The deceased was a student of Economics and Information Studies and celebrated his 22nd birthday last Monday.<\/p>\n

Citi News<\/strong> sources say he was rushed to the University Hospital after lifeguards and a doctor on duty conducted CPIs on him. He, however, gave his last breath at the hospital notwithstanding all attempts by medical officials to save him.<\/p>\n

His body has since been deposited at the morgue for autopsy.<\/p>\n

Some of his friends who spoke to Citi News<\/strong>‘ Caleb Kudah said they are devastated by his passing.<\/p>\n

Kofi Odoom, a floormate of the deceased, who was with Dennis in the swimming pool described his death as strange as “Dennis is a very good swimmer and very cautious.”<\/p>\n
