Police in Regional Division Two have launched an investigation following the discovery of a badly decomposed body on Annandale Beach, Essequibo Coast, on Thursday.
According to reports, detectives and senior officers were dispatched to the Annandale Seawall around 11:30 hrs after receiving information about the find. On arrival, ranks observed the body of a male, lying on his back on the sand. The deceased was clad in a red and blue jersey with black-and-white three-quarter trousers.
Due to the advanced state of decomposition, police said the man’s head, both hands, abdomen, and feet had been eaten away, making identification impossible. His name, nationality, age, address, relatives, and the time of death all remain unknown.
The body was examined for signs of violence, but officers noted that the level of decomposition made this difficult to determine.
The remains were transported to the Suddie Public Hospital, where Dr. Beharry pronounced the man dead. Samples were taken for DNA testing, and the body was placed in the hospital mortuary to await a post-mortem examination.
Investigations are ongoing.
