Just after noon yesterday, nine-year-old, Tyrese Isaacs, of 135 Sparendaam Housing Scheme, was crushed to death by a falling concrete column. According to reports, the child was killed almost instantly but was officially declared dead at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC).
The boy’s older brother, Travis Isaacs, said that he was at work when he got a call from his sister telling him about the mishap. He said that immediately he rushed to the GPHC, where he saw his little brother’s face “burst open” and he was dead.
He told Kaieteur News reporter that to his knowledge, Tyrese had gone to close the gate. When he was returning, the column collapsed and crushed him. He explained that the muddy conditions and bad weather caused the column to lean, and unfortunately, eventually fell on his brother. The column was not far away from the gate.
Kaieteur News understands that the child was at home with his mother, Beatrice Isaacs and 12-year-old brother when the incident occurred. It is a normal practice by the ailing mother to keep the children at home from school to assist with house chores. She was washing at the time of the incident.
The dumbfounded mother was in disbelief yesterday at the hospital. She was at a loss for words. There she stood in tears and in her blood stained skirt. It was not until the child’s body was rolled from the Accident and Emergency unit to the mortuary did the woman groan.
She told the reporter that at that time she was in a different world.
