A fatal industrial accident occurred yesterday at the Guyana Water Incorporated (GWI) Vlissengen Road compound. Shem Mercurius, 20, who was contracted by Construction Company Correia and Correia Limited, was crushed by a Bob Cat while working in GWI compound.
According to one of his cousins, he normally visited 144 Bagotville Public Road daily where his aunt and great aunt reside. After spending time there, he would normally go home to Vauxhall Canal One where he lived with his grandmother.
It was a gloomy atmosphere at the home of Patty Mercurius, the dead man’s grandmother, who related that she took care of him from birth.
“This is the first morning I didn’t look through the window to see he leave; he is such a good boy,” she said
According to his mother, Annie Delph, she suspects foul play at work since the circumstances that surround her son’s death seem very strange.
The construction company was very brief and has not explained anything, she added.
According to his aunt, Pinky Delph, the company has not visited, “and he died early this morning”.
The uncle, Steve Delph, said that he and the family were running about all day to ascertain what really had happened because no one had any proper answers to give.
