Police say they have discovered prescription medication in the room of the 23-year-old University of Ghana student who fell to her death on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Doctors are yet to confirm what the drugs are meant to treat, however, Legon District Commander, DSP Ofori Anokye, says officers suspect the victim was using the medication to treat a psychological problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked the father if the lady had a medical condition, the father said yes she has a medical condition and that when she came for first year in 2012 she had to defer the course till 2013; and that there is a doctor at Valley View University who is treating her,\u201d he told Joy News\u2019 Favour Nunoo.<\/p>\n

He adds that after pressing further the father revealed that the problem was mental in nature.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe father said [her medical condition] was psychological. We took [the] drugs from her room which we are going to give to the medical doctor to explain to us what they are meant for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Nyarko, a Consumer Science student, allegedly jumped from the fourth floor of her Akuafo Hall Annex A room 407 and was found by porters Wednesday dawn with severe head injuries.<\/p>\n

It is unclear what may have caused her to jump or fall from that height but some students say she has been moody and kept a lot to herself in the days leading to the incident.<\/p>\n

According to reports, she was with her roommates on Monday evening, but at dawn Wednesday, they were alerted to check to see if every member of the room was there.<\/p>\n

That was when they realised that she was nowhere to be found although they said they slept together with her in the room.<\/p>\n

A sister of the deceased who was at the morgue to identify her told Joy News’ Matilda Wemegah that Jennifer was not feeling well the whole of last week.<\/p>\n

Public Relations Officer of the university, Stella Amoah said they spoke to Akuafo Hall authorities who said they heard a loud noise at dawn at about 4:30 am.<\/p>\n
