Based on reports received, the now dead teenager left his father’s mining camp at Arou Mountain, Cuyuni River to go to the Landing. After some time had elapsed and he did not return, his father went in search of him but he was nowhere in sight.
As a result, the worried father organised a search party which went to look for the teenager but a few hours later, his motionless body was found floating in a creek with a depth of about six feet.
