AN autopsy performed on the body of 50-year-old Lancelot Grandsoult, who was found dead in a yard at Costello Housing Scheme on Monday, revealed that he succumbed to tuberculosis.

The post-mortem was performed by Dr. Nehaul Singh and it was determined that the deceased succumbed to Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, which had caused a hole to develop in his lung. This has caused a large quantity of blood to exit through his mouth and nostrils.

Reports indicate that police found him topless and clad in a long blue pants; he was lying motionless on the western side of a yard which houses a two-storey concrete building.
Police said there were no marks of violence on his body and only dried blood stains were seen in area of his mouth and nose. The nurse who cares for him was also at the scene.
