The brother of Winston Blackette, the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) patient who was found dead in front of city store, believes the man was likely heading home when he collapsed and died after taking his leave from the hospital.
Blackette’s younger brother, Esan Rose, 30, who lived with Blackette at Lot 6 Laing Avenue, West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, told Sunday Stabroek that the man complained about abdominal pains, which led to him being taken to the hospital, where he was admitted.
When asked about health conditions Blackette faced, Rose said the family knows that Blackette was ill. “Yes we were aware. My sisters overseas said that he didn’t really tell them about it. The only thing he kept telling me was that he wants to go to the hospital,” Rose said.
