Lancelot Grandsoult, the 50-year-old caretaker who was discovered dead on Monday in the yard of a Castello Housing Scheme property he oversaw for a number of years, died of natural causes, an autopsy has found.

Reports had revealed that Grandsoult was discovered lying face down at Lot 22 Castello Housing Scheme, Georgetown around 7.30am Monday by residents of the area.

Grandsoult worked as a caretaker at the house for about ten years. The owner of the house resides overseas.

He also did the same job at an internet café in the area. He would open the business every morning.

Janet Hubert, the mother of the owner of the house previously told Stabroek News that she did not suspect foul play since Grandsoult was a ‘sickly’ individual.

“The other day I came and I saw him (Grandsoult) walking coming to the gate very slowly and I ask him ‘Lance you okay?’ and he said ‘yes’ but he didn’t look so”, Hubert had said.

She added that Grandsoult would usually “keep to himself’.
