NAVINDRA Rambarran, a 25-year-old pump attendant employed by the Evergreen Regional Democratic Council (RDC), was discovered floating in a canal early Thursday morning. The Evergreen resident is suspected to have died by drowning.

According to his wife, Sarah Camble, Rambarran occasionally consumed alcohol.

On Wednesday around 15:00 hrs, he left home on his motorcycle. When he did not return 20:00 hrs, the woman contacted him via phone and he assured her that he was on his way home. However, he did not return that night.

At approximately 05:45 hrs, the following day, Camble received information that her husband’s body was found floating in a canal. His motorcycle was nearby on the dam, with both mirrors broken off.

His brother, Gavindra Rambarran, subsequently reported the incident to the Charity Police Station.

Rambarran’s body was transported to Charity Cottage Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Suspected fish bites were observed on his face and right ear. There were also what appeared to be bruises on his forehead.

The body is currently at Suddie Hospital Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.

Investigations are ongoing.
