Dead: Heion Vivindra Ramnauth

The body of a 41-year-old man, who was reported missing on Saturday, was discovered partially submerged in a koker at Cullen, Region Two (Pomeroon-Supenaam), this morning.

Dead is Heion Vivindra Ramnauth of Lot Z Cullen, Essequibo Coast.

Ramauth reportedly died sometime between 20:30 hrs on Saturday, October 11, 2025, and 07:30 hrs on Sunday, October 12, 2025.

The man resided with his mother, 66-year-old Soorsattie Ramsarup.

According to Ramsarup, her son had been a psychiatric patient for several years and was under routine monthly medical supervision.

She explained that due to his condition, Ramnauth would often leave home during the early morning hours to visit the seawall and other nearby locations.

On Saturday at around 20:30 hrs, Ramsarup told this publication that she noticed her son missing from his room. After failing to locate him in or around the yard, she filed a missing person report at the Suddie Police Station.

Then, at approximately 07:30 hrs this morning, the woman said she went to the Cullen koker, where she discovered her son’s body partially submerged and lying face down in the water.

Police were summoned to the scene, and the body was subsequently taken to the Suddie Public Hospital, where Ramnauth was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor.

The body was then transported to the Suddie  Mortuary, awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Investigations are ongoing.
