A CONSTRUCTION worker died on Wednesday, after he fell from a six-storey building under construction at Regent Street, Georgetown. The worker was identified as Lloyd Anthony Feroze, 25, called “Tony’ of Sisters Village, West Bank Demerara. Reports indicate that Feroze was employed by Peter Ramdoo, a foreman of Skull City, Patentia, West Bank Demerara, for the past four months as a labourer. Ramdoo was contracted by businessman Glenn Lall to work at the building on Regent Street. According to the foreman, at about 13:25 hours, Feroze was mixing cement on the ground floor and upon completion, he walked up to the fourth floor of the building which is currently under construction and has an open space with a stairway in the centre. About two minutes later he heard a crashing sound and on checking saw that Feroze had fallen to the ground from the fourth floor, hitting his head and other areas of the body. Feroze was picked up by an ambulance and taken to Georgetown Public Hospital where he was examined and pronounced dead on arrival. The body bore puncture wounds at the back of his head. His body was taken to the mortuary awaiting post mortem as investigations continue.
