Home News Guyanese man found dead on Suriname jetty
A Guyanese national identified as ‘Shado’ by Surinamese authorities has been discovered dead on a jetty along the Commissaris Thurkowweg in Suriname.
The man was found lying unresponsive near an office belonging to the owner of a scaffolding, who promptly alerted the Nieuw Amsterdam police about the presence of the body at around 7:30h.
Upon arrival at the jetty, known locally as Pantoen, law enforcement officials confirmed the identity of the man; and despite efforts to revive him, including the dispatch of the Meer Zorg ambulance, the man died while awaiting medical assistance, as reported by the Surinamese police in the East region.
Initial examinations done by medical professionals and forensic investigators discovered no sign of foul play at the scene. However, the circumstances surrounding the man’s untimely demise remain under investigation, and his body has been seized for further examination.
Not long ago, a Guyanese fisherman was found dead in a boat in Suriname. That victim was identified as 55-year-old Nigel Thomas of 34 Lusignan, East Coast Demerara and of 13 Yarrow Dam, La Penitence, Georgetown.
This man was reportedly discovered dead by a colleague in the wee hours of the morning inside a boat, according to reports.
A doctor who was called in had indicated that no crime had been involved, as the father of one had reportedly died of natural causes.
After the police had conducted their investigations, the corpse was handed over to the next of kin, in accordance with the Surinamese Public Prosecution Service.
