Nineteen-year-old Seon Scott, a Guyana Power and Light (GPL) contract worker, yesterday succumbed to severe electrical burns that he sustained on the job.
The youth had been clinging to life over the past week in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) after he suffered the injuries at Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice.
According to information received, Scott was at the top of a utility pole at Bath Settlement when he reportedly slid down the pole and sustained burns from his neck to his lower body.
In an unconscious state, the teen was rushed to Fort Wellington Hospital by his colleagues and was subsequently transferred to the GPHC.
Scott’s entire left side, from his head to knee was burnt and he became paralyzed as a result of the injuries. Reports are that for the week he battled through, Scott basically depended on a life support machine.
The victim’s family is still trying to find answers as to what exactly happened with Scott, since the workers who were present when the incident occurred have not yet provided details.
