Searchers find body of lightning strike victim

Sep 20, 2012 News

The  body  of 46-year-old  school boat captain,  Daniel  Colinet, who disappeared  last  Monday  after he was  struck  by lightning  at  Kartabu , Mazaruni  River, was  recovered  by  a  search  party early  yesterday  morning.
It  had drifted some  two  miles east to  an  area  near Kaow  Island , which  is  one mile  due  north  from the  Bartica   Community in  the Essequibo  River .
Members  of  the search  party claimed  that  as  part of  their  plans  for  yesterday  they  had  decided  to  carefully  follow  the  currents  of  the  river in the Bartica area.
The  corpse  was bloated and  showed the scars from the electricity strike on the  right  hip, the rib area  and  arm. It was  taken  by  the  search  party  to  the  Bartica  Pubic Hospital for  procedural  reports , but  owning to  the decomposing state  of  the  corpse,   a  decision  was  then  made to  bury  the corpse  yesterday  after  consultation  with  family  members  and  Region  Seven  Administrative  Officials .
They buried the body shortly after 14:00 hours at Sorrow Hill.
The Region Seven  Administrative officials  assisted  Colinet’s family  members  with burial preparations, Just before the funeral the local  Education  Department  gathered  at  the R.D.C. Office Compound , First  Avenue ,Bartica, for  a  period  of  reflection  on  the life of the late Daniel Colinet.
