Man found dead in apartment died from haemorrhagic pneumonia – autopsy
Almost one week after the lifeless body of 25-year-old Ronaldo Aquincy Watson was found in his Cummings Lodge, Greater Georgetown apartment, an autopsy revealed that he died of haemorrhagic pneumonia.
The post-mortem was performed by Government pathologist, Dr Nehaul Singh at the Georgetown Public Hospital mortuary on Wednesday. Haemorrhagic pneumonia refers to bleeding into the lung. It happens when blood leaks from blood vessels in the windpipe or airways into the main lung.
Watson was last seen two Tuesdays ago after reportedly complaining to close friends and family about feeling unwell. After not hearing from him for several days, concerned family members sent someone to check on him Thursday.
The visitor reportedly found Watson’s apartment locked and upon receiving no response, assumed he was out. Returning the next morning, the individual reported that they heard Watson’s phone ringing inside the apartment, but received no answer to repeated calls and knocks.
Growing increasingly worried, the individual enlisted the help of another person to force open the door.
Upon entering the apartment, the two found Watson unresponsive in his bedroom. Emergency responders were called to the scene, but Watson was pronounced dead upon their arrival.
