KUNTIE Lucknuath, a 52-year-old member of Sparta Mandir, collapsed there, Wednesday night, while singing bhajans (religious songs) during a worship service. Reports said the devotee was rushed to Suddie Hospital, also on Essequibo Coast, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
The incident has left residents of the quiet village in shock because three persons have died there within four days, two in suicides.
The first of the suicide victim was a father of three, who hanged himself with a piece of rope from a rafter in his kitchen.
Shortly after that incident, a young husband, whose wife is expecting her first child, ingested a poisonous substance, reportedly, because of domestic problems.
