Nineteen-year-old seaman Orlando Munroe has lost his battle to survive extensive injuries he suffered during an explosion on board the fishing vessel, Captain Lloyd 97 three months ago.
The Prittipaul Singh Investments employee succumbed at the Georgetown Hospital 11:30 hrs yesterday.
Munroe, who hails from Cane Grove, Mahaica, East Coast Demerara, had sustained burns to almost 90 percent of his body and was in a critical condition in the GPHC Burn Care Unit.
The teen is the second crewmember to succumb in the explosion. The other victim is Delbert Williams, the Captain, whose body has never been found.
Crew-members Keith Abrams, George Fitzpatrick and Elvis Todd were also injured.
According to reports, the crew was fishing in the Barima/Waini area in June, when a fire broke out in the engine room.
The men jumped overboard after the fire became uncontrollable. Four of the men were rescued by the crew of a Venezuelan vessel, but the captain could not be located.
The investigation into the tragedy is still incomplete.
