The police are investigating two separate drowning incidents in Berbice over the last 48 hrs.
They involve a one-year-old boy and an 81-year-old man.
The body of one year old Clifford Campbell was fished out of the Berbice River some 40 feet from the shore at around 18:30 hrs on Friday.
According to reports, the child lived with his parents and six siblings in the sawmill compound at Rotterdam, East Bank Berbice.
It is understood that his mother, Drupatie Dianid, 35, left the child at home with the other siblings, including a 12-year-old and went out on an errand.
When she returned she asked for the child but no one could give an account of his whereabouts.
A search was immediately launched for him and the lad was found floating about 40 feet from the shore.
The body was pulled out of the water by a public spirited citizen, who along with the mother rushed him to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
No marks of violence were found on the body.
And the body of 81-yr-old Jeremy Giddings was pulled from the Canje River on Friday and rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he too was pronounced dead on arrival.
According to reports, the man was cleaning the canal and the landing in front of his house when he slipped and fell into the river. He was pulled from the water where he was found in an unconscious condition. He was brought to the New Amsterdam Hospital by boat.
