Non Pareil man found dead hours after drinking Lomotil

Oct 03, 2009 News

A Non Pareil family is mourning the death of its patriarch, Cyril Boodwah, who left home for work Thursday night after consuming a dose of Lomotil.
The man was found dead at his employer’s Enterprise home hours later. Boodwah, 51, a security guard, resided with his family at lot 239 Block 12 Non Pareil.
Hardai, the man’s wife of 29 years, said that her family does not suspect foul play and has been promised help with funeral arrangements from his husband’s boss.
However, like her son, Anil, she is mystified at his sudden demise.
“He nuh been sick; he just had li’l belly wuk and he drink two Lomotil and it ease so he go to work about 5 o’clock and he was alright,” the man’s son Anil said.
The woman said that her husband was a cane cutter up until three years ago when he gained employment with the guard service. According to his fellow employees, he was a man worth having around and was always willing.
“When he went to work he boss say he and them were gaffing and that he even went to the shop for he,” the wife said. A neighbour at the Enterprise house reported that Boodwah was seen alive and well about 23: 30hrs on Thursday night.
He was discovered dead just before 3:00 hrs after continuous calls by a taxi driver at the workplace gate went unanswered. “We phone ring about 3 o’clock and them say he ain’t moving he stiff, stiff. So we go and the doctor was there and the doctor said he dead,” the man’s wife relayed.
He leaves to mourn three children and his wife. (Mondale Smith)
