– licensed gun found near body

Police are probing the suspected suicide of retired headmaster and popular businessman Aubrey Alexander, who was found dead at around 14:00 hrs yesterday in his Welcome Street, Rosignol home.
Alexander’s body bore a single gunshot wound to the head and his licensed .32 revolver in the left hand.
Relatives said that Alexander, who was about 80, was chronically ill and may have been depressed owing to his condition.
Alexander was also the proprietor of Alex’s Bar, located near the Rosignol stelling.
Kaieteur News was told that his spouse, Thofa Alexander, left her husband at home alone at around 08:00 hrs yesterday and headed to Alex’s Bar.
She spoke to him by phone at around noon and he indicated that he was alright.
Mrs. Alexander returned home at around 14:00 hrs but got no response when she called on him to open the front door.
She then used her keys to gain entry to the house and eventually discovered her husband lying on the couple’s bed and bleeding profusely from his mouth and nostrils.
His licensed firearm was in his left hand.
Alexander was rushed to the Fort Wellington Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Sources said that an examination of the body revealed a single gunshot wound to the top of the head.
Alexander was a former headmaster of the Rosignol Primary School.
He was also a trained valuation officer, a Justice of the Peace and a member of the West Berbice Lions Club.
