Body of Essequibo Coast fisherman found floating at foreshore

The lifeless body of a young fisherman was on Thursday found floating at the Jibb Foreshore in Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam) – four days after he had left for sea.
Dead is 23-year-old Mahindra Persaud, also known as “Bobo”, of Devonshire Castle Back Street, Essequibo Coast.
According to his brother Marvin, Persaud would normally go out to sea and spend about three days before returning home. He also stated that the now-dead fisherman was an alcoholic and had been suffering from seizures for about five years now.
Marvin further related that the now-dead man was last seen alive on Tuesday about 07:00h when he left home.
At approximately 06:30h, on Thursday, Persaud’s body was found floating about 100 feet from the Jibb Seawall. The body was retrieved and positively identified as that of Persaud.
It was taken to the Suddie Public Hospital Mortuary to await a post-mortem. (G4)
