2-month-old baby found dead at Agatash

The lifeless body of two-month-old Allison Ram of Agatash Village, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) was found on Wednesday moments after her teenage mother had returned from using a washroom.
The Police have said that at about 14:30h on the day in question, the infant’s 17-year-old mother left her child lying in a chair wrapped in a sheet and went to use the washroom, which is about 20 metres away. She returned about 10 minutes later, and upon checking her baby, she found her lying motionless in the chair.
The child was rushed to the Agatash Health Centre, where a Medic on duty examined the baby and referred her to the Bartica Regional Hospital. The baby was further examined by a doctor at the Bartica Regional Hospital, who later pronounced her dead.
The baby’s body was checked, but there were no marks of violence thereon. Her body is at the Bartica Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
