A Ghanaian man living in Denmark, identified as Benjamin Offei, has reportedly passed away under tragic circumstances following revelations from a DNA test that questioned the paternity of the children he had been raising for years.
The development came to public attention after a Germany-based acquaintance shared the story on social media on Sunday, February 2, 2026. According to the account, Offei was found lifeless at his residence in Copenhagen, days after learning that the four children he believed were his were not biologically related to him.
Sources close to the family said Offei had been in a long-term relationship with his wife for nearly two decades. The couple reportedly dated for about 10 years before getting married, during which time he assumed full responsibility for raising the children.
The shocking revelation is said to have taken a severe emotional toll on him, triggering widespread concern about the psychological impact of sudden family-related discoveries and the need for mental health support.
News of the incident has generated strong reactions online, with many calling for greater awareness around emotional wellbeing, especially for men facing personal and family crises.
Danish authorities are yet to issue an official statement detailing the circumstances surrounding his death.
