A popular local singer in the mining town of Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) died on Saturday after he reportedly drank a mixture of suspected ecstasy and stout.
The dead man has been identified as Cartlon Daniels, also called “Horse Mouth” or “Epic Horse”, 25, of Amelia’s Ward, Linden.
While information remains sketchy as to what transpired, Guyana Times understands that the local singer was liming with a few friends as the mining town celebrated its annual “Linden Town Week”, which ended on Monday.
However, Daniels reportedly mixed the tablet with the stout and consumed the mixture unbeknownst to his friends.
As the group of men continued their drinking spree, his friends reportedly saw Daniels tilting and thought he had got “high”. After some time, they realised that something was amiss after seeing froth coming from his mouth. He was immediately taken to the Linden Hospital Complex (LHC) and was admitted, but succumbed one day after.
The body is at the LHC awaiting a post-mortem examination.
