Educator Daniel Williams dies during public meeting in Bartica

Daniel Williams, Headmaster of the Three Miles Secondary School in Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), has died.

It is suspected that Williams suffered a heart attack whilst addressing a public meeting hosted by the People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) in Agatash.

During his presentation, Williams fell to the ground. He was taken to the Bartica Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Williams, who served as an educator for over 30 years, was a candidate for the PPP/C.

President Dr Irfaan Ali said Williams dedicated his life to serving the community.

“To his wife, two children, and other loved ones, I extend my heartfelt condolences. I pray that God grant you strength and courage during this difficult time. We thank our comrade for his dedicated service. We will honour his work with a deeper commitment and hard work to ensure the development of Region Seven and our country continues under the PPP/C,” Ali said.
