Commander Vyphuis rushed to hospital
Assistant Commissioner George Vyphuis
Divisional Commander of the police ‘A’ Division, Assistant Commissioner George Vyphuis was admitted to the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital after collapsing during a senior management meeting of the Force yesterday.
This newspaper understands that Vyphuis was rushed to the hospital minutes after complaining of feeling unwell during the meeting which was being held in the Commissioner’s Conference Room, at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary.
He was accompanied to the hospital by Deputy Commissioner (Administration) Leroy Brumell, who was met by Vyphuis’ wife and other family members.
While Vyphuis’ condition is listed as stable, doctors at the hospital have admitted him to observe his progress after they reportedly did not get a good initial diagnosis.
According to a source at the hospital, doctors have carried out several tests on the Assistant Commissioner and if all goes well, he should be discharged soon.
In the meantime, Senior Superintendent Derrick Josiah will be acting as Commander of the Division.
Almost two years ago, another Assistant Commissioner Balram Persaud underwent surgery at the Caribbean Heart Institute (CHI) at the Georgetown Hospital.
Commissioner of Police Henry Greene is also being monitored by the CHI.
