Kelroy Kaser, who was found dead on the Versailles Public Road, West Bank Demerara last Sunday succumbed from malaria. This was revealed yesterday following a postmortem.
The 33-year-old Kaser, of Parika Backdam, East Bank Essequibo, reportedly collapsed and died shortly after disembarking a minibus. Initial reports were that he was dumped out of a route 32 minibus in the vicinity of the Aracari Resort.
According to reports, Kaser left home early Sunday morning with the intention of seeking medical treatment.
However, after realizing that he had passed the West Demerara Regional Hospital, the sick passenger asked the driver to drop him off at Versailles, where he collapsed. He was left lying on the road for several minutes and succumbed by the time the police arrived.
His body was taken to the funeral home.
