He was taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital where he succumbed shortly after.

The dead man’s reputed wife, Delecia Gulliver, said she was at home when a relative called and informed her that Cummings was involved in an accident. Gulliver, along with other relatives, immediately left for the West Demerara Regional Hospital where their worst fears were confirmed.
The grieving woman told this newspaper that she saw he reputed husband alive about fifteen minutes before getting the news. She confirmed that her husband was on his way to work at the Brickdam Police Station.
Many of the policeman’s colleagues described him as a very jovial and willing person who was totally committed to his job.
