The dead man has been identified as 55-year-old Sihanouk Rampersaud of Better Hope, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
Based on reports received, the now dead man was visiting relatives on the island.
However, on the day in question, Rampersaud was seen imbibing with relatives and at about 16:00h, he left to go fishing and swimming at the Success Beach.
