A post mortem examination conducted on the remains of former Police Commissioner Henry Greene has revealed that he sustained a fractured spine and other internal injuries, while ten year old Shaffiya Jamaluddin died from multiple injuries.
This newspaper was told that the post mortem examinations were conducted by Government Pathologist Nehaul Singh at the Georgetown Public Hospital. Funeral arrangements for the Commissioner are not known as yet.
Greene and the child were killed around 09:10 hrs on Friday morning following a three-vehicle smash-up on the West Coast Demerara Public Road near Harlem, six kilometers from Vreed-en-Hoop.
Reports are that Greene, 58, was driving a white Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) PLL 7411 east along the West Demerara Public Road when he collided head-on with a car PJJ 4812, which was transporting six persons, including ten-year-old Shaffiya.
He then crashed into the Bakewell Distribution truck GJJ 9067. The truck in turn slammed into the car that Greene struck. Greene and the young child reportedly died before receiving medical attention at the West Demerara Regional Hospital.
The other injured were identified as Victor Persaud, who was employed as a driver with Bakewell; Shalim Ali- Mohamed and Dharmendra Prashadmisir who are porters with the company; Rahim Kaleem, 45; his wife, Zairoon Hussein; Reaz Kaleem, 18; Shaimoon Kaleem; and Fawaz Kaleem, 15.
People immediately rushed to the assistance of the injured after the accident. They were initially taken to the West Demerara Regional Hospital and later transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.  At present, Rahim Kaleem, Reaz Kaleem, Zairoon Hussein and Fawaaz Kaleem are all patients of the Georgetown Public Hospital.
