Relatives of 63-year-old Mohan Singh, of 26 Da Silva Street, Meadow Bank positively identified his body yesterday at the Lyken Funeral Parlour. Relatives made the identification yesterday around 11:00hrs.
The body was found floating in the Demerara River, early yesterday.
Singh, a hire car driver disappeared off the Demerara Harbour Bridge on Tuesday night.
According to relatives the man was returning from a funeral on West Coast Demerara, and exited the car to relieve himself during a traffic build up on the bridge.
A post mortem examination is expected to be done on Monday.
His son, Rajkumar Singh, had told Kaieteur News that his father had a few drinks after the funeral and had hitched a ride home in a friend’s car.
The younger Singh said that his father has a weak bladder and would normally encounter difficulty whenever nature calls.
On Tuesday night he encountered such a situation and emerged from the car which was stuck in the traffic build up to rectify it.
But he moved off at the first sign of an ease in the traffic, without the elderly hire car driver.
“The driver of the car said that my father jump out the car unknown to him and he could not wait for him because he did not want to hold up the traffic,” Rajkumar Singh told this newspaper.
He said that when his father did not return home that night he launched a search for him the whole of yesterday.
He checked with the personnel at the Demerara Harbour Bridge and learnt that persons had reported seeing an intoxicated man walking east along the bridge.
“But the bridge people say that he did not walk off the East Bank Demerara side or the West Bank side,” Singh explained.
