Dumor died on 18 January 2014 in his London home after a cardiac arrest, having been on air the day before. President of Ghana John Mahama said in a message on Twitter that Dumor was one of Ghana's "finest ambassadors" and "was a broadcaster of exceptional quality and Ghana's gift to the world."
He won the Ghana Journalist of the Year award in 2003 and joined the BBC three years later.

On 3 February 2014 Komla Dumor's body was flown back to Ghana, where it was received at Kotoka International Airport by a group of family members, friends, government officials, sympathizers and members of the Aflao traditional council, who also performed some traditional rites, since Aflao was his hometown.
In life and even in death, Dumor was an inspiration to many, a clear example that there is no such thing as overnight success, but success is a sure thing with hard work and perseverance.
