The body of an unidentified man was early Monday morning discovered on the Johanna Cecilia seashore, Essequibo Coast face down with several facial bruises and blood oozing from the mouth.
Residents reportedly spotted the naked body and immediately contacted the Police. The man was said to be of East Indian descent and appeared to be in his mid-thirties. He was about 5 feet, 3 inches in height. His body also bore two birthmarks.
When Police arrived at the scene, they cordoned off the area and started their investigations. Several persons in the area were questioned, but they claimed that they did not hear any unusual sound or see any unusual movements prior to the discovery of the body.
The body was later transported to the Suddie Hospital Mortuary to await a post-mortem and identification. The post-mortem is expected to be performed on Wednesday to determine the cause of death. Police are continuing their investigations.
