Body of farmer fished out of Pomeroon

Nov 09, 2009 News

Villagers of the Burnt Bush Profit community yesterday fished the body of 68 year old Harry Lall out of the Lower Pomeroon River, minutes after they discovered him missing.
Lall, a ground provision farmer, left his home earlier that day for Charity, some two miles along the river, to sell cassava at the market.
According to reports reaching Kaieteur News, the elderly man was last seen paddling back to Burnt Bush Profit around 16:30 hrs and all seemed normal.
Later that afternoon, villagers in the area saw Lall’s empty paddle boat, drifting a short distance from his home. An alarm was raised, family members were notified and a search party was formed.
Minutes after the discovery of the empty paddle boat, the elderly man’s hat was seen floating along the river not far from where the boat was discovered.
An hour after the farmer’s boat was discovered, members of the search party spotted the missing man’s body floating at the edge of the Pomeroon river, a short distance from his home.
Lall was clad in brown pants and a blue shirt.
Kaieteur News understands that the victim knew to swim, and that no marks of violence have been observed on his body so far.
Lall’s body was taken to the Charity Hospital Mortuary.
He leaves to mourn his wife and five children.
