Floyd Mathis
The body of the Golden Grove, East Coast Demerara mechanic, Floyd Mathis has been recovered.
This publication was told that the man’s decomposing remains were fished out of the river on Friday evening last. However because of the state of decomposition police ranks and other relatives were forced to bury the remains in the area. According to Mathis’ relatives, his body was discovered minus an arm and his face was badly disfigured.
On Saturday June 16th last Mathis went for a swim at Bamboo landing, North West District, but went under the water and never resurfaced. A search was conducted but persons in the area failed to locate him.
Over the past week relatives had complained that their efforts to locate Mathis were frustrated as they were constantly told by police in the area that transportation to carry out a search for the body was not available.
It was only after a report was made to Police Headquarters in Georgetown that the ranks in the area were instructed to find transportation.
Over the past week there have been three reported incidents of drowning in the interior.
On Monday last a boat went down in the Puruni River, claiming the lives of two miners, George Bowman and Devon Cadogan. Their bodies were recovered three days after the incident.
