Second autopsy for Adriana Younge set for Today in the U.S.
Kaieteur News- The body of 11-year-old Adriana Younge, which was flown to the United States on Monday for a second autopsy and further forensic examination, will undergo the procedure today at a laboratory in Atlanta.
This was confirmed by the family’s lead attorney, Dexter Todd, who provided a brief update on the post mortem examination. No additional details were provided.

Adriana’s remains were flown out of Georgetown early Monday morning via the Cheddi Jagan International Airport and arrived in Atlanta, where two U.S.-based pathologists are expected to conduct an independent forensic review of her death.
Shortly after her body arrived in the U.S., the Guyana Police Force released the final report from the initial autopsy, which was conducted by a team of three international pathologists: Dr. Shubhakar Karra Paul of Barbados, Dr. Gary Collins, Chief Medical Examiner of Delaware (U.S.), and Dr. Glenn Rudner of Mount Sinai Hospital (U.S.). Police stated that the pathologists submitted their final report on Tuesday, officially ruling Adriana Younge’s death as a drowning, with no signs of foul play. According to the police press release, the certified autopsy findings confirmed that her death was consistent with drowning and revealed no evidence of trauma, assault, or any other criminal activity.
Despite this conclusion, the family has publicly expressed doubts about the preliminary results, first communicated to them on April 28 when the initial autopsy was done at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. They insist that several aspects of her death remain suspicious and unexplained. “This is no result to me,” Adriana’s father, Subryan Younge, had told reporters outside the GPHC.
The police also cited findings from retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigator Leonard McCoshan, who submitted an independent report concluding, “There is no evidence of foul play by persons named or unnamed during the investigation.”
However, citing a lack of trust in local authorities and unresolved questions surrounding the case, the family opted to send Adriana’s body to the U.S. for further examination.
Adriana’s death has drawn widespread public attention. Her body was discovered on April 24 in the swimming pool of the Double Day International Hotel and Bar in Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo—approximately 20 hours after she was reported missing during a family outing.
According to her relatives, multiple searches were conducted around the hotel premises, including the pool area, during the time she was missing, but nothing was initially found. Her father later discovered her body in the pool and retrieved her.
Family members observed visible bruises and scratches on her knees, elbows, face, hands, and toes. Strikingly, she was found in an upright, standing position in the pool and reportedly showed no signs of bloating, an indication typically associated with drowning.
With her body now in the U.S., Adriana’s family and supporters are hoping the second autopsy will shed new light on what they believe are unanswered questions surrounding her death.
