Ivan Quashigah, the esteemed executive producer and director behind popular Ghanaian series ‘YOLO‘ and ‘Things We Do For Love,’ is devastated by the untimely death of actor Vincent McCauley.
In a touching Instagram post, Quashigah reflects on the impact of McCauley’s passing and the void it creates for ongoing and future projects.
Expressing his grief, Quashigah shares, “Vincent! What do I do with the new scripts? This cuts really deep! While shooting YOLO 7, you had to miss the filming of some scenes, and I was left to find a way out. The gentleman you were, you made it a point to come to the office to personally apologise.”
He further laments a missed opportunity to connect with McCauley about a new project, stating, “Yesterday, I made a mental note to call to discuss the new project and to find out if you were up for it. I failed to call. Hmmm.”
Reflecting on recent losses in the industry, Quashigah adds, “Just last year we lost your screen cousin in ‘Things We Do For Love’ Marleen (Lois) and your boss in Inspector Bediako – Ekow Blankson. Now you?. Lord teach us how to number our days and to recognize how few they are and help us to spend them as we should.”
In conclusion, Quashigah expresses deep sorrow, saying, “Your word says in all things we should give thanks, but this really, really hurts. Rest in Peace Nephew.”
Vincent McCauley, who passed away on Thursday evening, leaves behind a legacy of outstanding performances that have left an indelible mark on the hearts of fans.

While the cause of his death remains unconfirmed, sources suggest it may be attributed to a brain tumor.
