The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a Betsy Ground, East Canje resident
whose body was found early Sunday morning, slumped over a toilet in his home.
Dead is 31-year-old Ravidat Jagnit called “Ravi”, a father of one, and a labourer.
His body was discovered around 07:00 hrs by his sister Sabo Jagnit with whom he lived in the two-storey house, along with his six-year-old daughter.
According to the woman, her brother was in good health when she left him and went to bed around 21:00hrs on Saturday. She said that her sibling occupies the lower flat while she dwells in the upper flat. They had watched television together, something which they would do on a regular basis, before she retired to bed.
She said that when she awoke on Sunday morning, she ventured downstairs and made checks for her brother in his room, but did not see him. The doors and windows were all locked.
She became worried and made further checks. It was when she looked in the toilet that she was confronted by the unsettling sight of her brother’s lifeless body slumped over. The woman recounted that she saw no blood. Her screams attracted neighbours to the residence.
The police visited the scene and the body was taken to the Arokium Funeral Parlour.
According to the man’s brother, Umdat Jagnit, his brother visited most of the family on Saturday and as usual was in a good mood. He did not drink and was not suffering from any known illness. A post mortem examination is expected to be done shortly.
