The body of 50-year-old Gordon Nurse of Plantation Profit, West Coast Berbice, was found early yesterday morning on the Letter T Public Road, Mahaicony.
The discovery was made at around 08:45 hours yesterday by persons frequenting the area. Persons said they were alerted of the man’s body after noticing his mangled motorcycle at the side of the road. Police were called in and the body was subsequently removed by undertakers from the Lyken Funeral Home.
Nurse’s reputed wife, Camille Long said she last saw him alive on Monday morning and when he didn’t return home that evening she wasn’t overly concerned since she was of the belief that he had spent the night at relatives.
However early yesterday morning the woman said she was greeted with the news of his demise.
“Yesterday (Monday) was my birthday and I get up early and I make roti and I left to go to the market to get stuff to cook, but when I reach back home I notice he left and he didn’t gone with he phone, but I didn’t take it for anything,” Long told Kaieteur News.
According to Long, when she arrived on the scene she was told that her reputed husband’s body was found way down in a clump of bushes off the road while his motorcycle was closer to the edge of the parapet.
Relatives and other persons who converged on the scene said it is believed that Nurse’s motorcycle crashed into a pole holding up a signboard and the man severely injured himself.
“People say when they go to move the body you could see how he scramble onto grass like he went fighting up before he dead.”
Further, there are reports that Nurse was seen in Airy Hall consuming alcohol with friends late Monday afternoon. One source said that one of Nurse’s friends took away the key for his motorcycle but he verbally abused his friends and his key was returned to him.
It is believed that Nurse left Airy Hall and was heading home when he crashed while negotiating a turn.
Many also speculated that there was no other vehicle involved in the incident, since there was no sign of broken parts from another vehicle.
Investigations are ongoing.
