Foul play ruled out in Blue Berry Hill man’s death

-victim suffered heart attack

Foul play has been ruled out in the death of Blue Berry Hill, Linden resident, Clayton Crandon, called ‘Boo Boo’, who passed away suddenly at his home two Fridays ago.
Kaieteur News understands that a post mortem performed on Monday revealed that the 38-year-old had an enlarged heart. He is believed to have suffered a heart attack shortly after consuming two large helpings of cook-up rice.
Some relatives had suggested that Crandon had been poisoned. They had claimed that he had vomited and frothed at the mouth after eating.
Crandon and his girlfriend operated a shop at the girlfriend’s home and some relatives suggested that there was an individual who was unhappy with this arrangement.
But an aunt told Kaieteur News yesterday that Crandon, who worked in the interior, had suffered fainting spells in the past and had also contracted malaria and typhoid some time ago.
He had spent a week in the interior before returning to Linden last week Tuesday.
The aunt told Kaieteur News that she was at home last week Friday when Crandon’s girlfriend called to say that ‘Boo Boo’ had vomited and had fainted.
According to the woman, she advised the girlfriend to apply methylated spirits to his face. However, about 15 minutes later, the girlfriend called to say that Crandon had died.
His body was subsequently taken to the Linden Hospital Complex. A relative refuted reports that the body was removed from the institution without permission.
