The body discovered on Monday morning on the Johanna Cecilia seashore, Essequibo Coast has been identified as that of Deenanauth Jagdeo, aka Navin, a guard of Perseverance village.
The body of the 40-year-old was positively identified by his father, Jagdeo Bajaimal, on Tuesday at the Suddie mortuary. The father informed the Police that his son was last seen on March 11 when he left to go guard a boat on the Cullen beach.

The body is presently at the Suddie mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Residents reportedly spotted the naked body and immediately contacted the Police on Monday. When Police arrived at the scene, they cordoned off the area and started their investigations. Several persons in the area were questioned, but they claimed that they did not hear any unusual sound or see any unusual movement prior to the discovery of the body. Police are continuing their investigations.
