A final year student of the Notre Dame Minor Seminary Secondary School at Navrongo in the Upper East region got drowned when he and two of his friends went to swim in a dam on the school premises on Easter Friday.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Bolgatanga Hospital Morgue.
According to the Head teacher of the school, Reverend Father Francis Koledogo, the students were warned on a number of occasions not to go and swim in the dam saying it was against the school rules.
He dispelled rumours that suggested that the student committed suicide after he was punished by school authorities for an unknown offence.
He said the deceased would be buried on Monday.
Meanwhile the police in the area have launched investigations into the incident.
