Guyanese crushed to death at TCL Port in Trinidad

A Guyanese man was on Sunday crushed to death while loading a vessel at the Trinidad Cement Limited (TCL) Port in Claxton Bay, Trinidad.
The dead man has been identified as 44-year-old Doonauth Nateram of Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara. Based on reports gathered, the man, who had been living in the twin-island republic for some time, died while receiving medical attention at the San Fernando General Hospital in the wee hours of Sunday.
According to reports coming out of Trinidad, Nateram was employed with ANS Shipping Company and on the day of his demise, he was one of several workers who were loading a general cargo vessel with a shipment of cement.
He was reportedly on board the vessel when he was pinned to the rail by an excavator operated by his countryman, Ravi Mahadeo Persaud of Plantain Walk, West Bank Demerara. A Police report revealed that while Persaud was turning the excavator, Nateram was accidentally pinned. The incident occurred about 02:40h.
The injured man was picked up and taken to the Hospital by a TCL Ambulance, and doctors made every attempt to resuscitate him, but their efforts were in vain. Nateram’s body was taken to the hospital mortuary and an autopsy is expected to be conducted.
The Police are continuing their investigation into the unfortunate demise of Nateram. Attempts to make contact with the dead man’s family in Guyana proved futile.
