Richmond man crushed to death by collapsing house

– deceased reportedly warned about building’s dilapidated state

A 62-year-old man tragically lost his life on the Essequibo Coast after the derelict wooden house he was living in suddenly collapsed, pinning him underneath.
The dead man has been identified as Fazal Mohomid, a resident of Richmond Village, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam). Mohomid, a father of two, had been residing alone for several years since the passing of his wife. He occupied a small, weathered structure situated on a plot of land owned by one of his brothers.

His brother, Camo Mohomid, told the publication that he received a call about the incident and immediately rushed to the Lima Regional Hospital, where a doctor confirmed that Fazal had died. Another brother, Zaheer Mohomid, remembered Fazal as a kind-hearted and helpful individual who was always willing to assist others. He noted that although the family had discussed applying for housing assistance, Fazal’s residence on a family-owned plot meant he did not possess the required documents to qualify for such support. Neighbours recounted that the elderly man had been raking under the house after tying his hammock when the building gave way, collapsing on top of him. They said they had urged him on several occasions to repair the dilapidated structure, but he had declined the offers of help.
Residents of the Richmond community described him as a quiet and humble individual.
