According to Xandy, her father did not die a natural death considering the circumstances surrounding his sudden demise.

"My father was elected to parliament in 2004. I first came to Accra with my father, I am his eldest child...I was a very calm girl but I changed after my father's death.

"When my father died I was an Immigration officer in Kumasi...my father died on 25th December, his birthday was December 21...I had spoken to him just 30 minutes to an hour to his death...it was a serious blow to me," she said.
The outspoken actress in an interview monitored by GhanaWeb stated that her beloved father had so many plans for herself and her siblings.
The late Henry Ford Kofi Kamel encouraged his children to pursue higher education but after his death, his eldest daughter quit her job and finally landed in the movie industry.
