The lifeless body of 29-year-old Jagadhwar Mohan, a labourer from Lusignan Pasture, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was pulled from a trench at Annandale Access Road/Sideline Dam on Saturday.
Police stated that Mohan was in the company of two other men, collecting ‘puri leaf’ from a trench in the area when he reportedly slipped into a deep section and became submerged.
However, he was later pulled from the water in an unconscious state and was subsequently pronounced dead by Emergency Medical Technicians who responded to the report.
The body was examined by investigators and showed no signs of violence. It has since been escorted to Memorial Gardens Funeral Home for storage pending a post-mortem examination.
Investigations are continuing.
