St. Pius guard found dead

Dec 11, 2008 News

Teachers and students of the St. Pius Primary School got the shock of their lives yesterday morning, when they turned up at the institution only to find the security guard dead.

The body of Rendell Michael, 73, was discovered by a teacher slumped on a table along the school’s corridor.
The teacher routinely reaches the school before 08:00 hours; and yesterday morning, when she arrived at around 07:30 hours, she saw the guard and concluded that he was asleep. A closer inspection proved otherwise, and she raised an alarm.

Police have almost ruled out foul play, since there were no visible marks of violence on Michael’s body.
Kaieteur News understands that the elderly security guard lived with his mute brother in the Lodge Housing Scheme.

Michael’s niece, Maureen, said that she got news of his death yesterday afternoon when a policeman came to her house and informed her.

“He asked us if we know Michael, and told us that his body was found this morning (yesterday) at the school where he was a security guard.”

She said that she last saw her uncle some time last week, and he did not appear to be ill. “He looked okay, so this is a surprise to us,” she added.

Scores of schoolchildren converged on the area where the body was lying, and the incident almost put paid to the school party that was organised to mark the closing of schools for the Christmas holidays. Michael’s body is currently at the Lyken Funeral Parlour awaiting a post mortem examination.
