THE Guyana Police Force (GPF) has reported three separate drowning incidents, which occurred during family outings and recreational activities on Monday.
The GPF said it is investigating these tragic occurrences, which took place in different locations across the country on Monday.

At Azeeza Akousa Creek along the Soesdyke-Linden Highway, 44-year-old housewife Seeta Ghannie lost her life during a family outing on February 24, 2025.
Ghannie, who was known to suffer from epileptic seizures, was found submerged in the creek after her husband noticed her absence.
Despite efforts to save her, she was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre.

In another incident, 26-year-old labourer Vishal Narine allegedly drowned in the Demerara River near Land of Canaan on February 24, 2025.
Narine, who had been consuming alcohol throughout the day, jumped into the river following a family dispute. His cousin, Daveraj Singh, attempted to rescue him but was unable to overcome the strong current.

The third incident occurred at Lake Mainstay Resort on the Essequibo Coast, where 28-year-old labourer Deon Baird reportedly drowned on February 24, 2025.

Baird’s body was discovered floating face down near the resort’s deck bar the following day. CCTV footage revealed that Baird had removed his clothing and plunged into the water, after which he did not resurface.
The Guyana Police Force continues to investigate each case, with post-mortem examinations pending for all three victims.
