Authorities are investigating the death of 54-year-old Deryck Sattan-Persaud, also known as ‘Chowmein Man’ following a distressing incident on Tuesday at Fourth Street, Cummings Lodge.
According to preliminary reports, a 64-year-old brush cutter operator was working in a yard around noon when he was approached by a man identified only as “Leo.”
Leo allegedly asked for assistance to remove Sattan-Persaud, who was reportedly entangled in the grillwork of a fence. Upon inspection, the operator discovered Sattan-Persaud unresponsive, with the upper part of his body caught in the fence.
Emergency services were immediately contacted, and Sattan-Persaud was pronounced dead at the scene by a doctor from the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation. The Crime Laboratory team from CID Headquarters processed the scene.
The police are currently searching for the individual known as “Leo” for further questioning. Sattan-Persaud’s body has been transported to the Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, where it will undergo a postmortem examination.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Sattan-Persaud’s death is ongoing.
