He had sustained severe head injuries at the hands of his cousin, a 17-year-old.
The dead man’s cousin has since been sent to the Sophia Juvenile Center on Thursday by Magistrate Sunil Scarce. He was ordered to return to court on June 28.
The teenager was charged with a lesser offence. A possible murder charge is now hanging over his head. He was described as a very troubled and violent teenager by residents of his community.
“Teddy” never regained consciousness after he was struck to his head by the juvenile.
De Younge’s sister said that her brother and his cousin never had any misunderstanding before the altercation on Sunday night.
The DeYounge family also of Capoey, said that Teddy was heading up a hill to his home. Another group of persons headed down the said hill discovered DeYounge lying face down in an unconscious state, and was later transferred to the Suddie Public Hospital where he eventually died.
DeYounge is a father of nine. News of his death has come as a shock to his family. He was described as a willing and loving father and brother.
Meanwhile, a post mortem examination has to be done on the body, before a possible murder charge is instituted against the teenager.
