Home News Decomposed body of man found in bus shed
The decomposed body of a male was on Sunday morning discovered in a bus shed at Kuru Kururu Soesdyke/Linden Highway. The identity of the man has not been ascertained but according to reports received, he is suspected to be in his 20s or early 30s.
Based on reports received, the man’s face is swollen and his skin has blisters. Persons in the area told Guyana Times via telephone that the body was discovered at about 08:00h by persons traversing the area after they came across to a strong stench.
As they looked around, they reportedly saw the man lying in the bus shed. Some believe the body might have been brought and dumped in the bus shed since the body is in an advanced stage of decomposition.
“If this body went here for a long time, the smell would have hit some body and they would check… up to yesterday, I passed there and ain’t see nobody in the bus shed”, a taxi driver told this publication.
In addition, the body, they claimed, might be that of a man who suffered from a mental illness.
They stated that the man would normally roam the area. However, after the discovery, the Police were summoned and the area was cordoned off.
Up to press time, a release was not issued by the Police but the body was reportedly taken to the Lyken Funeral Home where it awaits identification and a post-mortem examination.
An investigation has been launched into the discovery.
