Puran’s vehicle was spotted, partly submerged in a canal, by a farmer who was making his way to his farmlands. It is believed that Puran lost control of his vehicle and ended up in the trench some time between 18:00 hours and 19:00 hours on Monday.

The dead man’s close friend and colleague, Glenn Hanoman, told this publication  that Puran, left his home at around 17:20 hours on Monday for his routine run into his pig farm at Mahaicony.
Residents also said they saw Puran passing in the area as he normally would every other day, but he did not pass out. Puran last spoke to his wife around 18:00 hours. They had made plans to celebrate his birthday later Monday evening.
