A FATHER of one was killed yesterday morning when he fell off his motorcycle while reportedly riding at a fast rate. 

Dead is 43-year-old Jonathan Validen of Pigeon Island, East Coast Demerara. Police sources said that the man died sometime around 16.30 hrs when he lost control of his motorcycle, CD 7919, while heading home along the Montrose Public Road.

The man was pronounced dead on arrival at the Georgetown Public Hospital. Sources close to the dead man said that he is married and has one daughter.
Jonathan Validen’s presence in Guyana came about when his father 76-year-old Specialist Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Dr. Charles Clarence Validen’s partly decomposed body was found in his Agricola Road, Triumph, East Coast Demerara home by his maid in 2012.
After his death, the remains of the doctor were kept at a popular funeral home in Georgetown as the administrators there awaited the next of kin to come forward and identify the remains so that it could be laid to rest.
Prior to the arrival of Jonathan Validen from Canada to Guyana, several persons began showing up at the funeral home, including persons outside of Guyana, claiming to be relatives of the man but their schemes did not succeed.
When the young man got word that his father in Guyana had died he travelled here to identify the remains and arrange the burial.
However, the man was not in constant contact with his father at the time of his death but was still able to present the authorities with legitimate documents to prove that he was indeed the son of the doctor.
Jonathan Validen remained in Guyana and got married to a woman and they had a daughter. The wife and the daughter are the only two persons here who are immediately related to the now dead man.
Following the death of his father, Jonathan Validen was able to inherit several estates and other wealth his father had, including a bank account with more than a hundred million dollars.
