Swimming trip ends deadly, bodies of 2 friends found in Atlantic Ocean

Two mothers are now in grief after the lifeless bodies of 20-year-old Navin Seenauth and 17-year-old Daniel Boodram, who went missing at Mahaica Unity Beach, East Coast Demerara, were found on Monday.
Reports are that at about 14:45h, a search party found the bodies of Seenauth and Boodram about 800 meters from shore in the Atlantic Ocean. The bodies were brought to shore, photographed, and appeared to have fish bites on upper and lower lips and right-side eye.

Speaking to reporters on Monday, Seenauth related that she was at a shock when the news broke that her son was missing.
“Every weekend at around 18:00h, you would expect him to come home bathe and then get chicken and then he would come back home, it was a shock when I heard the news that he went missing I couldn’t believe it, I started to feel weak when I heard the news,” she sadly expressed.
Meanwhile, Boodram’s mother expressed similar agony stating that she had high hopes that he would return home.
“I just hope that somebody finds him some way that is my only hope.”
The bodies were transported to Memorial Garden Funeral Home in Georgetown for storage pending a post-mortem examination.

The shores of Unity Beach, Mahaica, became the center of a frantic search effort on Sunday night as law enforcement officials including the Guyana’s Home Affairs Minister, Robeson Benn and community members united in hopes of finding two missing youths, who disappeared while swimming yesterday evening.
Seenauth, 20, and Boodram, 17, both residents of Unity Village, ventured into the waters with another 17-year-old friend to swim. According to the teen, who does not know how to swim, the trio encountered rough conditions with heavy waves shortly after entering the water.
“I got out after about 30 minutes when the water reached my chest,” the teen recounted, adding, “when I looked back, Navin and Daniel weren’t there. I searched but couldn’t find them.”
Following his unsuccessful search, the teen hurried back to Unity Village to alert residents, prompting an immediate search. (G2)
