KESI Adele Adams, 33, was found dead at her home on Monday morning, suspected to have been electrocuted while utilising her washing machine.
According to the police, Adams was discovered around 07:00 hrs by her mother, Bridgette Boston, after she had begun her morning chores at their Sister’s Village, West Bank Demerara home.
“It is suspected that the washing machine and dryer, situated at the back of the house, have an electrical defect which causes electricity to run beyond the machine’s capacity and onto a long sliver hose with metal wrappings (electric conductor) which is attached to the dryer.
“It was suspected that Kesi had held onto the hose, which led to her being allegedly electrocuted,” a police release detailed.
Despite being rushed to the West Demerara Regional Hospital, Adams was pronounced dead on arrival by a doctor.
Her body is now at Ezekiel Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination. The investigation is ongoing.
