Natural and the unnatural death 

In Ghana, "natural death" typically refers to deaths from illnesses, old age, or natural causes, while "unnatural death" covers accidents, homicides, suicides, or other external factors.

In Ghanaian culture, unnatural deaths are often associated with spiritual or supernatural beliefs, and may involve traditional rituals or cleansing processes. The distinction between natural and unnatural death can influence funeral arrangements, inheritance, and community perceptions.
