no signs of foul play detected

THE lifeless body of a 40-year-old woman, Junan Gomes, was discovered in her hotel room at Sunflower Hotel/Restaurant and Bar on Cummings Street and South Road on Wednesday morning.
According to police reports, the discovery was made at approximately 08:45 hrs by the hotel’s supervisor, Coleen Cush. Gomes, a resident of Lot 306 Timehri, East Bank Demerara, had checked into the establishment two days earlier on Monday, March 24, 2025, around 11:09 hrs. She was assigned Room #5 on the second floor of the two-storey hotel.

Cush, who noted that Gomes was a frequent guest at the hotel, stated that upon her arrival on Monday, the woman had complained of feeling unwell. On Wednesday morning, after receiving no response to repeated knocks on the door, Cush retrieved a spare key and entered the room, where she found Gomes lying naked and unresponsive on the bed.

Emergency medical technicians and police investigators were immediately called to the scene. Dr. Rampersaud from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation pronounced Gomes dead upon arrival. Crime scene technicians and investigators from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) processed the scene, but an initial examination found no visible signs of violence on the body.

Authorities have questioned several individuals as investigations continue to determine the circumstances surrounding Gomes’ death.
