THE post-mortem report on the death of 19-year-old front desk employee at the Ramada Princess Hotel, Sasia Adams, has revealed that her cause of death was blunt trauma to the head, consistent with a fall.

This is according to Divisional Commander Leslie James, who spoke with the Chronicle at his office on Wednesday. Additionally, a release from the Guyana Police Force also confirmed this bit and attributed the report’s findings to an examination done by the government pathologist.

On Sunday, the young lady was rushed to a private city hospital by her boyfriend. There he claimed that she had jumped out of a moving car he was driving, while the young lady who was still conscious when she arrived, told health workers that she fell at home. The police found the developments to be strange as both were giving conflicting reports and the young man who is said to be 21 years old was taken into custody, where he remained until late last evening.

Reports are that the police were looking to secure an extension of his detention period, as his 72 hours holding time was expected to expire last evening. According to information reaching the Guyana Chronicle, the two might have had a fight in the car and it was during that misunderstanding that something strange happened.

While some are suggesting that the young lady attempted to jump from a moving car, there are those who are suggesting that she may have been pushed. The police were up to yesterday putting arrangements in place to return to the location on Lamaha Street where the incident took place. The Chronicle was also informed prior that already efforts were being made to review CCTV footage from the surrounding areas.

A medical practitioner who first interacted with the young lady on the night she was taken to the hospital is also expected to provide the police with a statement, as it was that health worker the young lady told that she fell and hit her head while at home. It is unclear if the police visited the home of the young lady to verify that story, but we were informed that checks would be made inside the car the young man was driving at the time, to ascertain if there were any signs of a struggle. The circumstances surrounding this death slightly mirrors that of Monica Reece and of recent, Kescia Branch.
