Police were summoned at Arapariko, Kabakaburi, Upper Pomeroon River, early yesterday morning, after they got information that a teacher had found the body of a man in the Amerindian community floating in the River.
The police, with assistance from another teacher, were able to identify the corpse, as that of Mr. Alex Smith, who hails from Warapana, Upper Pomeroon River. He went missing on July 26.
Yvonne Hendricks, Smith’s wife, related that her husband, who worked as a chain saw operator, left his Warapana home on July 26, in his paddleboat to make a phone call.
The devastated woman recalled that it was the last time she had seen her husband alive.
The woman said that hours of waiting turned into days. She said that she and her sister-in-law began a frantic search, in the neighbouring communities for her husband.
“Both my sister-in-law and me conducted a search for him, but we did not see him.’’ The father of four was discovered Friday morning.
The body had already swollen. It was taken to the Oscar Joseph Hospital.
