THE body of a 52-year-old chef, Andre Gordon called ‘Blackie,’ was discovered motionless in a pool of blood on Sunday morning at Station Street, Kitty, Georgetown.
Gordon was found naked in the kitchen of an apartment he was renting at Lot 52 Station Street.

He was Guyanese but lived in the United States (U.S.), having returned to his homeland only on September 9, 2019.
At the scene, the Guyana Chronicle was informed that Gordon’s long-time friend Nicholas Pompey made the discovery around 09:30hrs after several attempts to contact the chef were unsuccessful.

“We can’t get the man for a day and we decide fuh go and check pon he this morning and when we pull the sliding door, the sliding door open; the grill door open; the padlocks all. When I stepped in the house and go to the passageway, the man lie down in the kitchen with a streak of blood running from he head area, straight down to he foot,” Pompey told the media.

Prior to speaking with the police, Pompey was of the opinion that Gordon’s throat had been slit; however, he later told the media that the police found that the blood came from Gordon’s nose and that there were no marks of violence.

“The blood had to come from he nose, but we ain’t know how it come from he nose,” he stated.
The feed from a security camera from a house adjacent to Gordon’s apartment may reveal what took place.

Residents at the adjacent lot told this newspaper that the camera has the ability to collect footage up to the gate of the Lot 52 residence.

Pompey stated: “We check a camera just now from over the road [that shows] that when we left he, he left and go out pon the road and had to come in with somebody, but the people with the camera ain’t reach up to there yet.”

The friend of the deceased told media operatives that Gordon’s visit to the country was after a 12-year hiatus.

“He’s a chef in America and he come down here to train some chefs. He was supposed to leave on Tuesday,” he related.

The Gordon’s body was taken away by the Lyken Funeral Home.
