Two Venezuelan burn victims die, others stable
Two of the four Venezuelan seamen, who were badly burned on Sunday, succumbed to their injuries at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) early yesterday. Dead are Antonio Jose Zavala Reyes and Angel Gregorio Gonzalez Morales.
The other two men were said to be in a stable condition as they remained patients at the hospital’s wards.
According to information, last Sunday, four Venezuelan seamen were badly burned at Morawhanna, North West District following an explosion aboard a trawler.
There are reports that the men were involved in an illegal fuel transaction when the mishap occurred.
There is information that the crewmen were in the engine room pumping fuel onto their trawler when the pump began to malfunction. They attempted to rectify the problem when an explosion occurred in the engine room. They sustained burns to their faces, upper bodies and limbs.
They were rushed to the Mabaruma Hospital before being transported by plane to Ogle, then to GPHC by ambulance.
