A post-mortem examination yesterday confirmed that the Zeelugt fisherman who fell overboard in the Waini River last week drowned, but his widow believes there is more to his death, which occurred on his first trip back on open-water after a three-year break.
Ram Lakhan Dalcharran, 50, of Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo, was in Kamwatta, North West District, where he reportedly fell into the Waini River in the early hours of last Tuesday morning. His body was recovered on Thursday morning at Shell Beach.
Speaking to Stabroek News yesterday, the man’s widow, Rosita Persaud, stated that the post-mortem examination revealed that he died from drowning. However, she added that despite being assured of how he died, she is still confused about the sequence of events that led to his death and does not believe the information provided to her about him accidentally falling overboard.
