The Berbice police are investigating the death of Harrichand Kowladat, who was found dead in his home on Main Street, Cumberland, on Monday evening.
The fifty-three-year old, who lived alone, was discovered by his neighbour Emraj Tajnarine who became concerned after not seeing him for a day.
The unemployed man was last seen last Sunday shortly after midnight; but at 19:00hrs the following day, after he was not seen nor heard, checks were made at his home.
“He does call out at me every day, especially when he take he drinks; for the entire day I did not see him, and that was very unusual; so I made checks at the house and I see he lie down motionless. I called the police,” recalled Taijnarine.
A senior police officer told the Guyana Chronicle no marks of violence were on the body.
The body is at the Arokium Funeral Home in New Amsterdam, awaiting a post mortem.
