A post mortem performed on the remains of 39-year-old Linden Henry has ruled out murder which was initially suspected.
The examination revealed that Henry died as a result of drowning.
A source close to the case also stated that the wound which was seen on the man’s forehead which many speculated as being a gunshot wound turned out not to be so.
According to the source, the wound on the forehead was an abrasion and the post mortem showed no penetration to the head, ruling out all speculation that the man was shot.
Initial reports had stated that Henry, of Dredge Creek, Upper Pomeroon, was found floating in the Pomeroon River. It was reported that the man’s body bore a wound to the forehead and one to the back of the head which suggested that he was shot.
