– cause of death undetermined
An autopsy yesterday on the remains of the St. Philip’s Green ‘mystery body’ failed to reveal how the man met his end.
A police official said that the pathologist who conducted the post mortem listed the death as undetermined.
The still-unidentified man will now be buried.
According to the official, the victim’s features were bloated and unrecognizable, but his hair indicated that he was of African ancestry.
However, some of the vagrants who congregate near St. Philip’s Green said they believe that the victim was a man of mixed ancestry who occasionally visited the area.
The man’s name was unknown to them, but they believed that he was in his twenties and had relatives in Grove, East Bank Demerara.
They said that, like them, the man was a drug user who was also a seaman.
According to the vagrants, their ‘friend’ would disappear for months, presumably while at sea, but he would eventually return to the area and ‘smoke out’ his earnings before disappearing again.
The vagrants said that they were ‘shocked’ to learn that the man had died, since he had always appeared to be in good health. They are of the view that he was the victim of foul play.
The body of the well-dressed man was found last Sunday in a clump of bushes near St. Philip’s Green.
He was clad in a dark coloured jersey, a pair of dark coloured trousers and a pair of white boots.
A frequent visitor to the area had told Kaieteur News that an individual, believed to be the same victim, was seen on a few occasions with commercial sex workers in close proximity to where his body was discovered.
