Autopsies yesterday found that a fractured spine and drowning were among the causes of the deaths of the victims of last Tuesday evening’s boat collision in the Upper Berbice River.
The bodies of Romario Denhart, a surveyor, 24, of Stanleytown, New Amsterdam, Julian McKenzie, 50, a farmer of Sandhill Village, Gregory Freeman Denhart, 55, and Kidman Lindee, 40, both farmers of Sandhill Village, Berbice River, were discovered some fifty five miles up the Berbice River between Katabali and Friendship by police during two searches on Wednesday.
The bodies, which were found a short distance away from the area where their boat collided with another that was being used to smuggle a large quantity of ganja, were positively identified by relatives at the New Amsterdam Hospital.
