AUBREY Calder, a 73-year-old Pensioner, was found dead at approximately 10:00 hrs on Wednesday, in his apartment at the John’s Guest House, located at Lot 100 Leopold Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown.

According to a relative of the deceased, Nyshell Jemmott, a 54-year-old vendor from Sophia, Calder had been living at John’s Guest House for the past four years. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer some time ago and was receiving treatment at GPHC. Jemmott stated that Calder contacted her via phone earlier today and asked her to assist him in cleaning his room, which she normally does.

As a result, at about 09:30 hrs, she went over to his apartment, and while cleaning, she noticed Calder sitting in his chair with his head leaned to one side and he was unresponsive. She said she called out to him several times but got no answer.
She then raised an alarm and the police and EMT were summoned to the scene and Calder was pronounced dead by a doctor from GPHC. The scene was processed and photographed by a crime scene technician.

Calder was found sitting in a chair in an upright position with his head leaning to the right. His body was examined, but no mark of violence was seen, and no foul play was suspected. Nevertheless, several persons were questioned. The body was escorted to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, awaiting a post-mortem examination.
