Tree limb kills labourer
Despite the advancement of technology, working in the logging business and mining is becoming increasingly dangerous, with yet another labourer perishing in the line of duty.
Police say they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Tony Cooper, 31, of Timehri Docks, East Bank Demerara.
Cooper died at the Mackenzie Hospital on Monday, one day after he was admitted to the medical institution.
According to the police, on May 10, Cooper was working at Seaballi Backdam, Mabura, when an excavator struck a tree causing a branch to break off and strike him on the head.
He was rushed for medical treatment but his injury was so severe that he succumbed despite the efforts of doctors.
