Twenty-four year old Adrian Boston of Dartmouth Village on the Essequibo Coast died at the Georgetown Public Hospital Monday afternoon one week after being involved in an accident on the Bounty Hall Public Road.

Reports said the young man, who suffered serious injuries to his spinal cord, breathed his last Monday afternoon after doctors at the Georgetown hospital turned off the life support machine that kept him alive.

When the Chronicle visited the family at Dartmouth village on Tuesday several relatives were constructing a tent for a wake. Mother of the deceased, Mrs. Sonia Boston, said Adrian was the eldest of eight children who worked hard to help put food on the table for his siblings

Ms Boston recalled that her son was a very quiet person who worked as a labourer in the construction industry.She said last Monday he went with his friends Boyd Harlington, Peters, and Teacher Moninic to Charity to purchase school clothes for his siblings and were sitting on a stall at Charity when a car driven by Ezie Bourne pulled up and asked if they were going home.

According to Ms. Boston her son didn’t want to travel with the car but the driver forced them to hop in. Then the vehicle struck a bridge, cut a tree in two and ended up in a trench

Harlington who was also hospitalized suffered several cuts to his face and other parts of the body.

Grandmother of the deceased, Mrs. Bonnie Boston, said her grandson was a very good person who was always helpful. She said while he was in hospital she prayed a lot for him.
