The body of a 41-year-old man, who was reported missing on Saturday, was discovered partially submerged in a koker at Cullen, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), on Sunday morning. Dead is Heion Vivindra Ramnauth of Lot Z Cullen, Essequibo Coast.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred sometime between 20:30 h on Saturday, October 11, 2025, and 07:30 h Sunday, October 12, 2025, in Cullen village.

According to information received, the deceased resided with his mother, 66-year-old Soorsattie Ramsarup, at the said address. During an interview with Guyana Times, Ramsarup said that her son had been a psychiatric patient for several years and was under routine monthly medical supervision. She explained that due to his condition, Ramnauth would often leave home during the early morning hours to visit the seawall and other nearby locations. On Saturday around 02:30h, Ramsarup reportedly noticed her son missing from his room. After failing to locate him in or around the yard, she filed a missing person report at the Suddie Police Station.
On Sunday, October 12, at approximately 07:30 h, she went to the Cullen koker, where she discovered her son’s body partially submerged and lying face down in the water.
Police were summoned to the scene, and the body was subsequently taken to the Suddie Public Hospital, where Ramnauth was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor.
The body was then transported to the Suddie Mortuary, awaiting a post-mortem examination. Investigations are ongoing.
