Laleta Sivanand

The body of Laleta Sivanand, the Kaieteur National Park tourist who went missing two weeks ago, was located and secured yesterday.

According to a statement released by the Ministry of the Presi-dency, a Guyana Defence Force (GDF) special team located and secured the body. The body was initially spotted late Saturday afternoon by a National Parks Ranger. It was found in a rocky area at the base of the falls, which was submerged previously because of the high water level.

Sivanand’s body is expected to be brought up to the top of the falls today and will be transported by
