TWENTY-year-old Okemy Yearwood, who was found dead in his home on Saturday, succumbed after suffering a bout of epilepsy.According to a post-mortem conducted on the body yesterday, Yearwood bit his tongue and lips during the attack, which caused him to bleed and accidently drink his own blood in the process.

Police sources stated that according to an autopsy report, the blood made its way into the young man’s lungs, and that is what caused him to drown. The post-mortem report stated that the man died of natural causes.
Yearwood, a construction worker of Nabaclis, was found dead in his bed on Saturday afternoon in a house which he shared with two other boys.
According to the information received by this publication, the young man earlier in the day complained of feeling unwell and was left at home alone while his other housemates left to go about their daily routine.
When one of the young men returned and tried to gain access to the house, the door was locked and knowing that Yearwood was left at home, he began calling for him but got no response.
At that point the man decided to smash the door in and enter the house where he proceeded to the room of the 20-year-old, where he was found lifeless and face down on his bed.
His relatives, including his mother who lives a street away, were informed and they rushed over to the location where they saw the body. The police were called in and an investigation was launched.
His mother who spoke with this publication on Monday said that she did not suspect any foul play in the death of her child, even as relatives were awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination. (Leroy Smith)
