Security officer dies after falling from roof

Police Regional Division 4 ‘C’ are investigating the death of Kevin Browne, a Chief Security Officer attached to Sheriff Security, who died on Sunday, after reportedly falling from the roof of a building at Good Hope, East Coast Demerara (ECD).

Police said that the 48-year-old of Apiqua Lane, Guyhoc Park, Georgetown, had earlier in the day transported workers to the INFAB building, located on the southern side of the Good Hope Public Road. According to investigators, at about midday, workers at the site observed that parts of the building’s ceiling showed signs of water damage. Browne reportedly went onto the roof to inspect the affected area when he stepped on a section that gave way, causing him to fall several feet onto the concrete surface below.
Reports are that workers rushed to assist and transported him to the Enmore Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The incident was subsequently reported to the Police and Browne’s body was taken to Sandy’s Funeral Parlour, where it awaits a post-mortem examination.
Police investigations are continuing.
Meanwhile, InFab has since said that it had contracted Royal Global Guyana Inc, located at 230 Section B Pattenson, Turkeyen, Georgetown, to construct a worker living area at the rear of its Good Hope premises. According to the company, the work being carried out at the time of the incident was under the full supervision and responsibility of Royal Global Guyana Inc.
