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 last November 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 tomorrow but from indications, all
is not going well.

According to eyewitnesses, there was some
confusion at the Bubuashie residences of both
Ronnie's mother, Lilly, and father, Decarlo
Coaches Quainoo this morning. As soon as the body
of the late musician was conveyed from Korle-Bu
Teaching Hospital morgue and 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 tonight 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 tomorrow to be followed by a
memorial service at the Success Chapel, Bubuashie
in Accra on Sunday.
