Based on reports received, the body was discovered by villagers lying face down in the koker and the Police were immediately summoned to the scene.

Just three days ago, the lifeless body of Joseph Curt, 63, of Prospect, EBD, was discovered floating in a canal along the Mocha Access Road. His body was reportedly spotted in a trench in the vicinity of Fourth Bridge by a passerby.
As such, the Police were contacted and the body was pulled from the canal. It was reported that the man is known in the community as an alcoholic. A post-mortem is expected to be conducted soon.
