THE analysis done at the Guyana Police Force (GPF) Laboratory failed to determine the cause of death of Canadian Jean Le Blanc, who died at Georgetown Hospital on October 26.

Le Blanc was admitted a patient at the GPH and was recovering but suddenly fell into a coma and succumbed.
He suffered injuries to his right hip when two gunmen sprayed Ricardo Rodrigues with bullets as he was sitting at a ‘Pit Stop’ Restaurant and Bar in Guyana Motor Racing and Sports Club (GMR&SC), Thomas Lands, Georgetown, about 13:00 hrs on October 15.
Two other men, Aubrey Henry, 35, of Alberttown, hurt in both legs and Michael Hopkinson, 42, hit on his right arm and right foot, also suffered wounds when the gunmen opened fired indiscriminately.
Rodrigues’s body bore wounds to the head, chest, hands and leg inflicted by a high-powered weapon. From all indications he died instantly. No motive for the killing has been established as yet but investigators are probing whether it is linked to the recent arms and ammunition find at Lethem, Rupununi.
However, to date, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Seelall Persaud said there has been no further development in the case.
Rodrigues was released on $100,000 bail after spending a night in police custody pending investigations into the discovery of three M-70 and four M-16 assault rifles, along with a grenade and radio communicating equipment.
Eyewitnesses recalled seeing two men dressed in black firing automatic weapons at Rodrigues.
Police said they have recovered several spent shells from the scene.
Shortly after police issued a wanted bulletin for Mark De Abreu, who turned himself over to them accompanied by his lawyer.
He was questioned and later released.
After that, head of security for Rodrigues, Marlon Osborne was gunned down, execution-style, by a gunman, who was the occupant of another car, in Laluni Street, Queenstown, as he entered his car PNN 9922, also in Georgetown.
Osborne succumbed to about four gunshot wounds at the GPH as he was being prepared for surgery.
