The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) team, accompanied by relatives of the city pork-knocker whose body was seen at the bottom of the Kaieteur gorge has reached the area and are making arrangements to get the body out.

Pork Knocker: Rennie Michael Lesile

Reports are that this operation is difficult for the soldiers since the body is among some rocks some 600 feet away from the bottom of the Falls.

It entails going through secondary jungle, unforgiving falls and rapids.

Rennie Michael Lesile, 36, of 328 West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was last seen on November 29, 2009 in the Potaro area in a canoe on his way to his mining camp.

He reportedly encountered difficulties and it is believed that he may have drowned although he was a relatively good swimmer.

He had reportedly left his camp to take out someone to the airstrip and was on his way back accompanied by his dog when tragedy struck.

His body was spotted between some rocks and there was no sign of the dog.

On November 9 last, 23-year-old Aliya Bulkan during a tour of Kaieteur National Park, jumped to her death from the Kaieteur escarpment. Her body was recovered by the GDF days later.
