THIS IS WHAT SANTO’S BROTHER SAID
In 2002, Dr J.K. Kwakye-Maafo, Director of West End Clinic in Kumasi and a brother of Santo, refuted rumours that the late legendary comedian died from swallowing cocaine. He said this during a one-week funeral celebration of Santo at Akyem Awisa near Akyem Oda.
Speaking to a large gathering at the family house, Dr Kwakye-Maafo stated that there was no way Santo would have survived beyond forty-eight hours if he had really swallowed drug. He noted that nobody can survive after that period if cocaine had burst in his body. The medical doctor further stated that Santo spent one month at various hospitals in Europe and the report he received from the doctor, who attended to him, has nothing to imply that “my brother was dying as a result of swallowing cocaine.”
