Corriverton pensioner found dead in home

Dennis Seepaul, a pensioner who is said to be in his 70s of Lot 21 Rahaman Street, Rampoor Village, Corriverton, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), was found dead in his home on Saturday.
Police said the man might have died sometime between Friday at about 23:30h and Saturday at around 05:00h.
It was reported that Seepaul, who was an alcoholic, had complained on Friday of having cramps. He later retired to bed.
However, at about 05:00h the following morning, he was discovered lying motionlessly on his bed. The man was examined for marks of violence but none was seen on the exposed parts of his body.
Seepaul’s body was later taken to the Skeldon Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The body is presently lying at Anthony’s Funeral Home awaiting a PME.
More than a month ago, the body of 72-year-old Chandradat Jaikaran of Number 64 Village was also discovered by his neighbour, who went to check on him.
Jaikaran, who lived alone in a one-storey wooden and concrete house, was a known alcoholic as well and would usually be at home making a lot of noise while behaving in a disorderly manner.
On the day in question, his neighbour said that she heard him cursing as he was sitting on his stairway. Sometime later, the woman said the man became silent and she suspected something was amiss since he would usually be cursing and behaving disorderly for hours.
This caused her to investigate.
She took her torchlight and aimed the light in the pensioner’s direction. She saw him lying motionlessly in his yard with blood oozing from his mouth. An alarm was raised and the man was taken to Skeldon Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
