THE post-mortem examination conducted on the remains of Tulsiram Rajkumar, who died following an accident on Saturday, has revealed that he died as a result of multiple injuries.

The autopsy was performed on the 58-year-old Golden Fleece, Essequibo Coast resident by Government Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh, on Tuesday.

Rajkumar, a father of 11, was struck from his pedal cycle by a motor car around 18:30 hours while riding along the Golden Fleece Public Road. The 57-year-old car driver has since been released from police custody.

According to information reaching the Guyana Chronicle, the motor car was proceeding north along the western lane of Golden Fleece Public Road, allegedly at a fast rate, when the pedal cyclist, who was riding in the eastern lane, heading south, suddenly swerved west into the path of the car.

As a result of the collision, the pedal cyclist was flung some distance away and landed on roadway. He sustained injuries about his body and began bleeding profusely from his head. Rajkumar was subsequently picked up in an unconscious condition and rushed to Suddie Public Hospital where he was examined by a doctor and pronounced dead.
