The lifeless body of a 64-year-old manager of a mining company was discovered inside the room of a city hotel on Wednesday, prompting a Police investigation.
The dead man has been identified as Desai Pankai Roy Dasrath, an employee of S Two Mining based in Anna Regina (Pomeroon–Supenaam).
Initial enquiries revealed that Dasrath had travelled from the interior and arrived in Guyana on March 14 via the Eugene F Correia International Airport. He was subsequently transported by a driver to a city hotel before relocating two days later to the Church Street establishment, where accommodation had been secured for a brief stay.
According to investigators, the driver last communicated with Dasrath on Tuesday morning when the now-deceased reportedly requested directions to the outpatient department of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
However, the discovery was made on Wednesday when the same driver returned to the hotel to deliver a sum of cash on behalf of the company. After repeated attempts to contact Dasrath by phone proved futile, hotel staff were alerted.
A bellboy accompanied the driver to the room, where they found him lying motionless on a bed.
Emergency medical personnel were summoned, and a doctor later pronounced him dead at the scene.
Reports are that the body bore no visible signs of violence. Personal belongings recovered from the room included cash in Guyana and United States currencies, along with medication.
Crime scene investigators processed the room, and CCTV footage from the hotel is currently being reviewed as part of the probe.
The body was later transported to a funeral home, where it awaits a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. Authorities have taken statements from relevant individuals as investigations continue.
