POLICE investigators were summoned yesterday afternoon to the East Coast of Demerara after three bodies were found in Better Hope, Lusignan East, and the Buxton Railway Embankment.
Charles Wilson, 82, also known as ‘President’, from Buxton, East Coast Demerara, was discovered dead on the corner of a side street opposite the Guinness Bar on the Buxton Railway Embankment.No marks of violence were found on the body except for an injury he sustained when a motor vehicle ran over his foot while he was resting on the corner of the side street. Residents said the driver

of the vehicle then went to summon the police. Wilson was reportedly alive when the driver went to summon the police, but some minutes after the police arrived, Wilson was declared dead.
According to residents, Wilson was sleeping under the roadside shed located at the corner of the side street until about 3:00 pm yesterday. Wilson was reportedly removed from the shed by a resident identified as a “Rasta man” and was placed on the corner of the side street at the request of a female resident who routinely sold plantain chips under the shed.
Wilson was reportedly sleeping under the shed since Saturday last. Relatives at the scene said he refused to stay at a Senior Citizens’ homes, and was well-known in the community as “an insane man.”
The body was removed at about 6:30 pm last evening with residents baffled as to the cause of his death.
At Lusignan East, along the ECD corridor, 56-year-old Julian Mohabir was found dead on the grass-covered wooden bridge of his Lot 106 Lusignan East home that he shared with his 57-year-old brother, Sydney Mohabir.

The dead man’s brother said he was a regular imbiber who would regularly fall asleep on the bridge of the yard. Mohabir said he found his brother sleeping on the bridge when he woke up at 9:00 am yesterday, and he could have been there since the night before.
The dead man’s brother also said it was routine behaviour for the deceased to fall asleep on the bridge, after which he would get up and go inside of the house.
The brother said he crossed over his brother’s body on the bridge when he left the house mid-morning, and returned at 3:30 pm. It was then he realised his brother was dead. No marks of violence were found on the body, according to police.
The brother was escorted to the Vigilance Police Station for an apparent failure to render assistance to his brother as he lay on the bridge.
And the body of an unidentified East-Indian man, in his late 20s, was found under a shed on the seawall in the vicinity of Better Hope, East Bank Demerara, some spitting distance from the Sparendaam Police Station.
One resident, who requested anonymity, said she peaked out of her window and noticed the man running north along the seawall while he appeared to be choking and panting for breath. The man reportedly rested under the shed where a group of males were gambling.

The resident said the men objected to the presence of the now-deceased male after he tried to induce vomiting. The man reportedly collapsed and died under the shed. He was unknown to residents in the community where his body was found.
Police are yet to rule out an apparent suicide since the man was found with an empty one-litre “Clear Waters” bottle. The body was reportedly found with foam at the mouth, and with hands clutched towards the chest in a contorted position. No marks of violence were found on the body.
