A 56-year-old father of two from Alberttown, Georgetown, was found dead in his yard on Monday afternoon. The deceased has been identified as Kenny Reece.
His cousin, Mikada Oudkerk, told the media that Reece was discovered with blood oozing from his mouth. According to Oudkerk, she was informed of the situation by an overseas aunt who alerted her to the incident.
“Actually, I was home and I got a call from my aunt overseas, and she was telling me that they heard he was lying in front of the yard with blood oozing from his mouth. But everybody is saying that he was apparently poisoned. When you look up straight, there is a lot of blood, and when you look at the bathroom area, it’s very sad.”
Forensics team at the scene
Oudkerk, while reminiscing about the deceased, stated that he worked at a snack stand in Alberttown, Georgetown and was quite a joyful person to be around.
“He used to work at the famous eggball man on sixth street, he’s been holding down the job for the past 3 or 4 years since the business started. He was a very loving, jovial person. If you were sad, he made you happy. One of my oldest cousins, there are some food items there that they take for sampling,” the cousin said.
The woman said she was not aware of her cousin having any issues or misunderstandings with anyone.
“We actually grew up here, so everyone knew him here. If there was a brawl or fight, somebody would reach out to a family member and let us know. So, if someone and him had a problem, I wouldn’t be able to say.”
A postmortem examination is scheduled to be conducted on Wednesday. Investigations are continuing. (G2)
