Cadman Mills, brother of the late president for the first time after his death has publicly revealed what led to his demise.
Cadman told Fiifi Banson on Kasapa FM on Tuesday that his brother fell and bled until he died.
Recounting what he says was a sudden death, Cadman said the autopsy report conducted on his brother showed he died from the stroke, adding the family has all along known the immediate cause.
“He fell and bled. It was what we later found out to be hemorrhagic stroke,” he told Fiifi Banson.
Cadman who is Mills younger brother by some 19 months said he identifies with calls made for the cause of the latter’s death to be made public, but insisted “it has always been known.”
“We were taken aback by some of the stupid claims by people who said they knew the cause of his death. He wasn’t poisoned as has been suggested.”
Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for about 13 percent of stroke cases, according to the Stroke Association of America.
It is caused by a weakened vessel rupturing and leaking into the surrounding brain. Blood builds up and compresses the surrounding brain tissue. Intracerebral (within the brain) hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage are the two types of hemorrhagic strokes.
A weakened blood vessel ruptures, resulting in a hemorrhagic stroke.
Hemorrhagic stroke is typically caused by two types of weakened blood vessels: aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
