Late geologist’s mother mulling legal action against Troy over death

Ryan Taylor

With two investigations said to have found gold mining company Troy Resources Guyana Inc (TRGI) liable in the death of geologist Ryan Taylor at its Karouni mine site, his mother, June Taylor, is mulling legal action against the company.

The findings of the probes, conducted by the Guyana Geology and Mines Commission and the Ministry of Social Protection, were cited in a recent letter by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Vincent Adams to TRGI Chief Executive Ken Nilsson rebutting complaints levelled against him by TRGI. Nilsson had written to President David Granger complaining about Adams.

The investigations by the government agencies into Taylor’s death have not been disclosed to the public nor has the family seen the reports.
