AN autopsy on the body of 16-year-old technician, Krishna Chan, conducted on Wednesday, confirmed that he died as a result of cardiac arrest due to electrocution.
Chan and Oliver Anton were electrocuted on Tuesday while installing security cameras inside the compound of the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD).

Chan resided at Lot 98 Lusignan Pasture, East Coast Demerara (ECD). He was an employee of Smart Tech Solution located at Lot 11A Kersaint Park, La Bonne Intention (LBI), ECD.
According to reports, Smart Tech Solution employees Chan and Aftab Umrao, 24, hired a motor canter driven by Buxton resident, Anthon, and porter, Brian Culley, to transport them to the Guyana National Stadium to install security cameras on the northern side of the compound.

“According to Umrao, Krishna had the wire to do the job wrapped around his neck, whilst Anthon and Culley were holding the metal pole which was attached to a Crane on the canter that was lifting it and Umrao was feeding the wire to Krishna,” the police said.
Krishna and Anton were electrocuted when the top of the pole touched the high voltage lines belonging to the Guyana Power and Light (GPL) Company.
It was noted that Krishna was burnt on the torso, arms and face, rendering him beyond recognition. Anthon’s body showed no visible injuries.
Krishna and Anthon were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics and were later taken to the Lyken Funeral Home. An autopsy on the remains of Anthon is expected to be performed on Friday.

Meanwhile, Culley suffered burns to the palm of his left hand and Umrao sustained minor injuries. They were taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC), where they were treated and sent away.

The cameras being installed by the men are part of the Smart City Security initiative, which forms part of the Citizens Security Strengthening Project.

This project is being carried out by Chinese telecommunication equipment company, Huawei.

Local Director of Huawei, Zhou Bo told the Guyana Chronicle that the men were not employed with Huawei, but were sub-contracted to install the cameras.
