…accident victim dies from hemorrhage, fractures to skull

An autopsy performed on the remains found in an East Canje, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne) cane field on July 5 is inconclusive.
Government Pathologist Dr. Vivekanand Bridgemohan performed the autopsy on the body of Deochan Rai called “Suraj” but could not determine the cause of death.
The pathologist concluded that the cause of death was unascertainable.
However, Dr. Bridgemohan found that there no marks of violence were seen on the body.
Fifty-six-year-old Deochan Rai, who had been missing for more than two weeks, was found dead in the backdam at East Canje on July 5.
Rai, who lived alone at Betsy Ground, East Canje, was reportedly last seen on June 18. The cane harvester had left home to pick wild Carilla some eight miles into the backdam.

A search party consisting of more than two dozen persons went into the backdam to look for the missing man but came up empty-handed. However, on July 4 his bicycle was found.
The following day rodent bait workers working with Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) Rose Hall Estate discovered the body in a cane field drain that connects the main trench to supply the cane field with water.
Meanwhile, an autopsy conducted on the body of Simeon Munroe also on Wednesday by the same pathologist gave the cause of death as shock with hemorrhage and fractures to the skull, consisting of motor vehicle accidents.
Munroe was involved in a crash in the wee hours of Sunday morning along the Corentyne Highway at Nurney Village.
Police had reported that Monroe was riding motorcycle, CL 8946, heading west when the driver alleged that he saw a cow walking from the northern to the southern side of the road, as a result he applied brakes and pulled to the southern side of the road.
At the same time, Monroe was allegedly proceeding in the opposite direction, without a safety helmet, when the motorcycle collided with the said cow and he lost control of the bike, then further collided with the right-side front fender rearview view mirror of the car.
The car was being driven by a police officer who was initially arrested. (G4)
