Dead: 49 year-old Davenand Singh.
Sources close to the case told this newspaper that the cause of death is undetermined since all of the organs in the body were completely decomposed. No proper assessment could have been done.
The remains have since been handed over to the family and burial is expected to take place some time today.
Meanwhile, relatives said, yesterday, that they have no reason to doubt that the remains found are that of Singh. The relative were able to identify the remains from the man’s dental history.
On Monday last Singh’s skeletal remains were found some three kilometers down in the New Hope, East Bank Demerara backlands. The man’s relatives had formed a search party for him after he had been missing for some three weeks.
The family had received information that a hunter in the area had seen Singh in the backland begging for water. However he got no assistance.
The man was last seen alive on January 2, last. Relatives had suspected that Singh was having a nervous breakdown and were preparing to take him for professional help.
While at his step daughter’s home in new Hope he jumped over her fence and fled into the backlands and that was the last time he was seen alive.
