A 66-year-old man, believed to have succumbed to a heart attack, was found dead in his car outside the Promenade Gardens yesterday.
The man was identified as Lloyd Gibson called Johnny, of Schoonord, West Bank Demerara.
His widow Tessa Gibson told Stabroek News that her husband had dropped her off at Maggie’s on New Market Street at approximately 06:00 hrs and then taken her sister to Alberttown. While they were travelling to Georgetown, she said, her husband complained of having diarrhoea. She added that he had diabetes, suffered from poor blood circulation and was incapable of walking independently.
According to the woman, Gibson would usually park the car outside Maggie’s and wait for businesses in Georgetown to open. He normally locked the car, turned on the air conditioner and relaxed, she explained. She further stated that he probably visited the Promenade Gardens to use the washroom since he had diarrhoea.
At about 09:30 hrs his body was discovered motionless in the front seat of his car. His widow said she suspected he died of a heart attack since the Guyana Police Force had ruled out foul play.
The Gibsons would have celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary on November 11th.
