The Association added that it was prepared to provide logistical and financial assistance through the Ashanti Regional Football Association (RFA) office to help the family organise a befitting burial for the player.
The delegation was led by GFA Executive Council Members Dr. Gifty Oware-Mensah and Frederick Acheampong.
They were joined by Ashanti RFA Vice-Chairman Isaac Adu Gasper, Colts Football Chairman Kwabena Owusu Dankwa and Referees Manager David Kumah.
