A security guard attached to the Suddie Funeral Parlour, for the past six months, used the confines of the facility to take his own life.
Workers at the funeral home yesterday morning made the alarming discovery of the body of Pradeep Singh,also known as Goat Foot,a security officer and resident of Ondeerneeming.
According to one of the dead man’s colleagues, as he approached the parlour he noticed a window to the building was open, while the main door was closed.
The man said as he ventured inside the building he found Singh hanging from what appeared to be knotted bandages.
Gomes said he immediately told others at the parlour what he had discovered and then a message was relayed to the police at Anna Regina.
Prewattie Singh, the dead man’s eldest daughter said her father had attempted to take his life at their home on Tuesday, but one of his younger daughters had taken the rope from him.
She recounted that she last time saw her dad was around 13:00hrs on Tuesday.
A post mortem examination will be performed later this week.
