One of the stars of the 2021 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ), James Lutterodt, has passed away.
James and his colleagues, Francisca Lamini and Bright Senyo Godzo represented Keta Senior High Technical School (Ketasco) in the competition impressing viewers with their performance throughout the contest to the finale.
A source confirmed the young brilliant boy’s demise to JoyNews.
Although there have been speculations of food poisoning, the cause of James’ death is not officially known.
James, together with Fransica and Bright took Ketasco to the finals of the NSMQ for the first time in the school's history.
Although they lost to Prempeh College, their talents and efforts did not go unnoticed earning praise from many Ghanaians and eventually scholarships among others.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of James Lutterodt. As a history-making #NSMQ2021 Keta SHTS team member, he made his school and region proud as the first school from the Volta Region at the NSMQ Final.
