Late Kyei Andoh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kwame Kyei-Andoh died of natural causes, according to the official autopsy report.<\/p>\n

News of the death of the 21 year old match referee shook Ghana in the past fortnight after it was confirmed that he had been brutally assaulted at a lower division match on March 2 – five days before his demise.<\/p>\n

The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi finished the post-mortem a few days ago, but will present the official document to the relevant authorities on Tuesday, March 25.<\/span><\/p>\n

Citi Sports sources in the Western Region indicate that the family are taking the news calmly, since most of them have been sure that the death of their relation was in no way linked to the beatings he got.<\/p>\n

Looking back<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ghana Football Association has banned Dompem Gold Stars from using the Bordie Park where the late referee Kyei Andoh was beaten by fans.<\/p>\n

The \u00a0beatings by fans of the home side in a Division One league match between Gold Stars and NaaJoe United was widely thought to have resulted in his death days later.<\/p>\n

Condemnation of the assault came from far and near, with Confederation of African Football (CAF) boss Issa Hayatou sending a strongly worded message to the Ghana FA.<\/p>\n

“I wish to underscore that any acts of violence and attacks have no place in football and must be condemned and dealt with in the strongest possible terms and that you will take all necessary steps to address issues surrounding this sad situation,” Hayatou said.<\/p>\n

Retired referee and match commissioner T.K. Aggrey told local media:\u00a0“It was so so sickening and sad, I went to commission a match elsewhere, got wind of the incident and passed by. It is so sad, the young referee is dead.”<\/p>\n

Assault of match officials is a common feature of the lower leagues in Ghana and many parts of Africa as well as South America.<\/p>\n
