A former employee of the Banks DIH Limited was yesterday morning found hanging in the washroom area in his yard just after 10:00 hrs.The discovery was made at the man’s Lot 19 Essequibo Avenue D’aguiar’s Park at Huston Complex on the East Bank of Demerara by his wife.

This newspaper was informed that the man’s family had left earlier in the morning and returned just after 10
hrs when the discovery was made.
Prior to the discovery persons in the area said that they saw the man doing yard choirs while his wife and others left a car to go out. The man lives at the home with his wife, son and daughter-in-law.
Upon their return, his wife called out for him but got no answer. It was reported that she began searching the house for him since the doors were open and when she ventured downstairs she found him hanging in a sanitary block in the yard.
Neighbours were alerted to the sound of loud screams coming from the man’s wife but according to them, at first they took it for nothing serious since the family would usually be shouting at the dogs ever so often.
The police were called in following the discovery and the body was later taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital after investigators had completed their investigations.
One person close to the area suggested to this newspaper that from the way the man was discovered, it seems as if he ingested a poisonous substance before hanging himself.
While this publication was not able to confirm the name of the gentleman, persons in the area identified him as Oswald. (Leroy Smith)
