Dead: Troy Cordwell
Reports are that Cordwell was heading to Georgetown on his motorcycle bearing registration number CD 3069 at a fast pace, but while in the vicinity of Pestex Environmental Solutions, he lost control and crashed into the motor vehicle with licence plates GSS 1066.
The injured man was picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
When Guyana Times visited the home of the dead man, it was locked. Persons in the area informed this publication that the man lived alone, noting that all of his relatives lived abroad.
Some persons with whom he would interact on a daily basis explained that they received the news of the man’s death on Wednesday morning and as such, knew little of what transpired.
However, the close friends of the dead man stated that his relatives have already been informed of the fatal accident. They described Cordwell as a very pleasant individual who would come out in the evenings to “lime” with them at the corners of D’Urban Street and Louisa Row.
The Police, in a release, said that an investigation has been launched into the accident.
