A 19-year-old Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Company worker is clinging to life in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) after he suffered electrical burns on Thursday at Bath Settlement, West Coast Berbice.
Severely injured is Seon Scott of Limlair Village, Corentyne, Berbice.
According to information the 19-year-old was at the top of a utility pole at Bath Settlement when he reportedly slid down the pole with burns from his neck to his lower body. He was unconscious.
Scott was rushed to Fort Wellington Hospital by his colleagues and was subsequently transferred to GPHC.
According to the injured man’s cousin, Cabena Scott, she was informed that her cousin was unconscious up to press time yesterday, “his left side is paralyzed, from his neck to his knee is burnt and he basically depends on a life support machine.”
Cabena Scott said that she received a telephone call from her aunt who informed her that her cousin met with an accident and he was transferred to the city’s hospital.
When she rushed to the hospital, she was told that her cousin sustained “three scorches to his brain.”
She added that her family is trying to find answers as to what exactly happened with her cousin since the workers who were present when the incident occurred are not giving the details as to what really happened.
