Gulad’s wife, Nalini, speaks with Chronicle reporter Michel Outridge.

A post mortem has revealed that poultry farmer Ameron Gulad, called Imran, was electrocuted Saturday as he operated a plucking machine at his home.

He will be buried today.

Gulad, 33, of 72 Kersaint Park, LBI, East Coast Demerara, died when the machine he had bought recently malfunctioned.

The man’s wife, Nalini Gulad, said that at about 08:30 h Saturday, she was upstairs and recalled her husband was on the phone talking to the people he bought the plucking machine from, complaining that it was not working properly.

It started to rain, the widow said, and she went downstairs to check on her husband. She found him slumped over the fence in the front yard.

“I touched him and felt a tingling sensation, and realised I got shocked,” she related. ‘I quickly released him and shouted for help. By the time neighbours came, he was dead,” she said.

Mrs. Gulad said she ran upstairs, unplugged the machine and called the police.

The Gulads operate a poultry business and the plucking machine is the first one they had bought.
