The deceased, Roopnarine Harrynarine
The fisher is said to have been in the habit of going on drinking sprees which would last for months, during which would be periods of sobriety. During such times he would work at sea. He lived with either of two sisters.
The father of two and his wife separated 15 years ago and, according to reports, he has been on that drinking spree ever since. The advanced stage of decomposition has forced Police to allow the fisher’s family to bury him without an autopsy.
